    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

If someone needed a necropsy done on a snake, what specifics tests would one ask for? Please advice soon as snake is in freezer.

Thank you
 
Hi Rozann,

Unfortunately, putting a dead animal in the freezer could actually harm the tissues which could make the results of a necropsy questionable. The most common type of necropsy requested to be performed is a 'full post' (full post mortem) or a 'complete' necropsy... especially when cause of death is unknown.
 
Yeah, I hate to say it, but if the animals' in the freezer it's already too late. Next time, stick it in the fridge right away. I think what they do first is just a gross dissection, and then if they don't find anything obvious then they do tests on the tissues and such, which costs more.

Thank you for replying. The snake was in the freezer as long as it took to write this post and call the vet. Then it went straight to the fridge:)
Thank you for your responses, the vet had told me.
