What is going to be done with 50 syringes?

I know... questions, questions, questions.
So I was asked about the diet of the snake, and appears to be very common in those kinds of fish to have parasites
(But then...how all the pet stores sell this kind of fish for food? That's so dishonest ), so he told me that he have seen something like that and the snake had the same diet.

The treatment, was surgery to extract the worm, the ones that grow under the skin like you said (dracunculus medinensis) BUT, he only saw her, nothing more, so he could be wrong...and some antibiotics (he didn't say wich ones, tomorrow I'll ask him) by the way, not the nicest person I've ever met .Imagine that professor that thinks he knows everything, and tries to make you feel bad or make a fool out of you. I was so angry, I'm paying, They're not making me any favor. And I'm not in there for someone to tell me how I need to grab my snake (like a small child) and tell me things I already knew, just because I didn't study Biology. At that moment I was saying in my head "And that's why other cultures don't like mexicans...For just a few, we get labeled".

And the reason about the time she's gonna stay there is because, he said that reptiles take too much time to heal, I don't know if it's true, I've never had a sick snake =(

The 50 syringes..Ohhh, that's because it was a service to the University like "charity", I did pay for everything (And it wasn't cheap) , but suddenly it was a sort of requirement not charity or something...Can u believe that!!!

But unfortunately there are not many reptile vets. So whatever at this moment is good. =(

I say it again...only in Mexico!

Oh...I'm really sad about it, and that's me...really-->

I don't think he's gonna give all the babies, I'm pretty sure he's going to steal a few for the University, I don't trust him, I'm also thinking, about picking her up in a week or two, but I'm also afaid that she still needs some treatment.



Thank you all for your support
