My vet gave me shots to give to my BP. The vet said to give the shots in the widest part of the snake, which is in the lower third of her body. However, people are saying to do it in the upper third? What do I do? I've been giving her shots in the lower third so far.
 
The shots need to go into the anterior third of the snake. If the injection site is too close to the kidneys, the medication will be filtered out without helping the snake.
 
Upper third was certainly what I was advised. Another piece of helpful information that was given to me when I had to do this recently was to alternate the sides of the body so that you are not injecting the same spot every time.
