Field vet rounds at the Edisto Island Serpentarium today, with a double retained eyecap removal on an annoyed king cobra, lots of fecals and several assist feedings with oral meds. The handling and restraint procedures were filmed by a student who will be providing the edited footage for an online course I'll be putting together.
Cooked dinner the other day for some guests in town who accompanied us down to the Serpentarium. It included things like charred Japanese eggplant with anchovy-caper-pine nut "pesto", daikon mock potato cake topped with salmon caviar and sour cream, blood sausage with spiced red cabbage and cranberries, pomegranate molasses painted Muscovy duck with a walnut-arugula-pomegranate stuffing, and buttered glazed baby turnips in venison demiglace. Mmmmtasty. Tomorrow it's on to some more holiday visiting of both serpents and people. |
