radix x-rays

[guidofatherof5]

Here are a few x-rays of my radixes.
My Vet. was nice enough to let me borrow them for awhile(he better for the money I give him)
I wonder if I can get a cheap x-ray machine off ebay????? maybe craigslist.

Very interesting pictures, Steve.

I would personally stay away from X-rays, the radiation isn't something I'd want to expose my snakes (or myself) to without a very good reason. A sonographic scanner (ultrasound) could also be useful, though.

Great thread, Steve. Thanks for posting.

My interest was more of a joke than serious. I agree with you on the radiation concern. I also don't what to get that made scientist label in the neighborhood, bringing in large medical devices. The locals already think I'm touched since I take care of Garter snakes. I never thought about an ultra sound. That idea I will look into. I'm also trying to locate a cheap handheld fetal heart rate monitor(Doppler). Hoping a OBGYN in the area will have an old one they want to part with. I might see if they want to loan one to me just so I can do some recordings. Ebay has them but $400.00 is out of my league. Thought it would be cool for the kids to listen to heartbeats/respiration. I think it would be cool also. Thanks for the idea.

cool to see
but i'd stay away from used x-ray machines
you do own a good quality stethoscope, right?
those work really well, if you know how to use them
