What do you keep in your snake box?

On my fish forum, we came up with a hospital box suggesting things people should keep on hand. Do you guys have a thread like that here? If not, what types of things would you reptile geeks suggest we keep on hand in case of emergency?
 
Nutribac, tiny infant feeding tube and syringe, vegetable oil, small container with airholes and a washcloth. Betadine, cotton swabs, especially the wooden kind with cotton on just one end.
 
Wow, thanks, Nanci! Where does one get a tiny infant feeding tube? Drat that I'm not currently working at the moment. I'll have to have one of my g/f's bring home one from the ER.
 
I agree with everything Nanci listed. I also keep on hand neosporin (instead of the betadine) tweezers, and a magnifying glass.
And I make sure I have a backup surge protector. This may just be me being paranoid, but I had one blow on me and I needed another because the storms lasted for a week.
 
Excellent! Thanks, rheenie! I'm makin' a list and checkin' it twice. I must have been a boyscout in a former life!
 
I have most of those things just for my skin kids, but I'll defintely get an extra mat and stat. This is great for me, so thanks for the indulgence. Nanci, what do you do with the small box with holes? Is this for hatchlings?
 
Sorry for being a bit off topic... speaking of bad sheds, does anyone use any off the shelf shedding aids? My girlfriend picked me up a bottle of shed ease at the petshop when she was in the city, and i was wondering if its more of a gimmick than of any use. Good thread by the way. Where does one come across nutribac?
 
I've used ShedEase for stubborn cases - it really helps with those tricky tail tips. I find it more useful than plain water.
