Boy its been a shite day, the shitest in fact. Diablo the Sand Boa was taken to the vets today in Bradford (I hate Bradford) where they have a specialist vet which deals with exotics like snakes and Parrots. Many tests were done on the poor little fellow which included an x-ray and swab samples but she didnt really have a clue what the problem was, the swabs and blood samples needed to be sent off so it was hard to diagnose until she gets the results. He was given a dose of antibiotics and painkillers and I was instructed on how to inject him with antibiotics for the next two weeks. the whole 20 mins cost us a nearly 160 .
On the way back we got pissed wet through and managed to miss the train home so we had to wait an hour for the next one. When we finally caught the train it was packed so we had to stand for most of the journey home
Anyway to cut a longer story short we got home and found that Diablo had died, he was three years old


Diablo is the one on the left (he's about to shed his skin) and Kachina, his girlfriend is on the right.



Did you know that snakes are real life zombies, they can continue to move for up to an hour after they have died


Sorry for the depressing journal
