The final installment,
Stitch the young tiger gets to feel the grass on his belly after over a month of confinement.
An awesome day for releasing snakes.

Ditto Nigel's comment, the good days certainly make it all worthwhile:)!
 
Bravo Baz! Must have been such a fulfilling moment for you and Shane as well. I've been looking forward to this video for a while now.
 
Watched the repair work with great interest
Had always thought broken jaws were fatal injuries
May have to rethink them in future

Well done
 
The jaw wasnt broken Peter.
One half of the lower jaw had broken through the skin, The lower jaw, as you know is separated at the front of the mouth by 'cartilage' I think is the word.
So it was just a matter of poking the jaw bone back in and putting in a stitch or two.
Shane Simpson would be able to explain this so much better as Im getting a bit squiffy at the moment.
 
Such a wonderful series of videos.

Wonderful work by both you and shane and thanks for the video Baz so informative.

Also lets not forget the member of the public who called you....who had the opportunity to use the spade again and take the snakes head off and chose instead to call you. That is the wonderful part of it.
