So one of my female san fran's had a blockage just above her vent area for which i tried gently manipulating the area and giving her a warm bath which didnt work so i figured the vet would be able to help. Took her in monday night and the vet tried to manipulate the snakes body to force the blockage out which didnt work so she suggested regular bathing / mineral oil, ok fine ill try that.

I get the snake home and notice the back 1/3 of her body is limp and lifeless and im pretty sure the vet broke her spine, she didnt make it through the night. Im just trying to deal with my anger and upset over this she was a wonderful / beautiful animal who didnt deserve to die like that, not to mention the work / money i put in to get her into the country in the first place, sigh.
