Surgery on a 17 foot Reticulated Python named Teresa

Teresa is a 17 foot Super Tiger Reticulated Python. She got an abcess in her lip that would have mamed her for life if we did not take care of it. We decided to feed her a 12 pound piglet and work on the problem lip between the time it takes her to get from the front shoulders of the pig to the hind feet. Once the legs are down the throat she will be back in action looking for piglet #2! Thank you to Dr. Todd Driggers and Avian & Exotic Animal Hopital for their assistance with this procedure.

[CrazyViper100]

She is just awsome looking man! I had a burm that had a abscess tooth as well. Cost us alittle over $800 for them to do the operation on him and it was another $100 for the meds after words.

@sphynxky Serpents do not have much of a memory span, Nor does their brain have the capability of emotion. At the worst the Serpent will be defensive until the wound is healed.
