Lulu, as hard as this experience was, and as bad as you feel because of it, just remember two things.
1. We've all made mistakes, and it sucks, but we're only human, and that's how life goes.
2. When things like this happen, someone else on this forum will
benefit, because they will remember, and watch for it when they are raising their own baby snakes. So you've potentially saved many little lives by your experience!
Don't be too hard on yourself, and enjoy little Hope. And for heaven's sake, keep us all up to date on her progress!
