I had my mom put her down because I couldn't bear seeing her in pain, but when she came back she said that the snake took off when she set her on the ground. She didnt bother going after her because she believes that it should die on its own time. I hope she's going to die happy being out in the sunshine, rather than a box in my room. Maybe she'll be fine and next year I'll see her again. Probably a slim chance, but I can wish.
