UPDATE! New snake recovering well!

Great news! My newest BP is healing up well! I was a bit worried seeing that he had a few problems when I rescued him (see thread) from a filthy tank in a store, but he's doing much better now! He's still not feeding but I have been keeping a close eye on his weight and logging it every few days and there has not been a significant drop. I'm going to try to feed live mice as well and then worry about trying to switch him over to rats... and now, the power of a little tlc and a good shed!

I agree! Nice job recovering that guy (if it's a guy, I didn't notice if you specified)!! Something you might try to induce a feeding response is using a gerbil or a mouse or rat that's been in gerbil bedding. I haven't personally used this method, but I've heard that it can help those that are a little reluctant get started back. Keep us posted on how he progresses though!
