She had been lacerated from cloaca to about 8 scutes up...her lil ones were still in their places...I am not speaking as a herpetological-faith-healer, or any authority of any kind...But, we took that girl home; we blotted her wound w/ peroxide-water..put her in a shoe-box w/ only sterile rags...wet, w/ clean water (and salt...only a minute amount to the water..enough to deterr bacteria, enough to soften the water to stay warm amidst ectotherms)...Her health progressed wildly..But, her lil' ones were ready now too...She started convulsin' w/ live birth...and them lil' ones weren't gonna wait 4 the tear ta heal..and they came out, where they could...two out of the 8 were still-born..but, all of them came out in different phases of dissolving-egg-sack,and in different paths..My Mother held the mama's head up,it was evident now that she received the laceration from a bicycle tire, or a riding-mower, or a vengeful boot...Her babies stayed close to her for a few hours..she passed within minutes of the last one pushing it's tongue to taste the air...But, had it not been for her labour,her broken back, and her physical trial...I'm pretty sure she woulda been fixed in those clean, warm rags...
