    Tip # 1
    Keep a spray bottle/medicine dropper filled with rubbing alcohol or vinegar near your tanks. If you get bit, spray/drop into the snakes mouth. The bitters will force them to let go.

    Tip # 2
    When dealing with rescued snakes (or any that face these symptoms) that can be dehydrated and facing scale rot, put a bit of tattoo wax on them once/day. It helps the scale rot, and helps seal in hydration.

    Lets keep an on going thread going . :(
    Any tips anyone has would be a great help
