  • Although friendly snakes won't care much if you give them an injection of medicine, others.... well, they'll show you how much they feel about it. Here are my techniques for giving shots to not-so-friendly snakes.

    I know this is an older video but I just have to say that if you are going to be giving injections to your snake, it's best to follow instructions that your veterinarian has given you on how to give the injection properly. The difference between Emily's technique and what a veterinarian or vet tech would do is simply to aspirate before slowing injecting the medication. Aspirating, or pulling back on the plunger, will let you know if your needle is in the correct spot based on what is pulled back into the syringe.

    I started watching this because I both love snakes, and have a fear of snakes... I want to own one as a pet, and I think watching these videos is helping me learn more so I can be less scared.

      I've given my 10ft retic shots by myself and it's not fun, but it had to be done. I just grab him behind the head as gently as i can and if he starts freaking out i let go. I dont even think about getting bitten. Id much rather get bitten than injure his neck. I let him wrap his body around my leg and sit on the floor with him. He threw a small fit most times. especially near the end because he was getting 1 medication daily and another every 3 days. He was clearly getting tired of them. It got to the point where he knew it was time for a shot when id open the door and he would gape his mouth and try to get away. Like he remembered it as a routine. Luckily he ussually just bluffs when he gapes. Hes only ever grazed my shoulder once with a tooth. No real actual bites from him in the 6 years ive owned him.

      @aryanprivilege9651 6 лет назад +1

      Dev Patel Yes, IM is intra muscular, you can’t just jam a syringe into an animal, especially a snake where you obviously dont have a large limb muscle, you need to know where muscle tissue is, not body cavity, or harm internal organs, damage nerve or circulation. Veterinary guides, or can speak to expert. The gauge of a syringe is obviously larger to a small animal when designed for human. Just concerned.
