AI says…” Yes, a reptile's heart can continue to beat after the brain has ceased activity. This is due to the heart's intrinsic ability to generate electrical impulses, independent of the brain's signals, a function facilitated by specialized cells in the heart. Here's a more detailed...

Sorry for the broken link in my last post..it was meant to show how to get the drops in the eye without getting them in the mouth.

You said...”the last two times I applied ointment to that eye, I've caught him rubbing it afterwards. The turret sort of balloons up during the whole fiasco. The branches are soft and sanded down, but I'm still like "oh no i hope he won't make it worse!" Any idea if that's a normal reaction...

Glad you liked it!
