My snake got bit by a rat - 5 months later

If you remember this poor guy, he has healed up nicely. I had no idea that he was going to ever look this good again.

good side :

now the only problem is that he hasnt eaten yet. He seems interested, but i dont know if he's scared, if he's not used to having sight in only one eye (if he lost his sight in that eye at all), or if you lost some of the use of his heat vents. Im pretty confident with some more time, he will eat. He has gone through to much in his little life to give up now! *fingers crossed*

Oh yeah - old thread link http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showthread.php?t=42913
and the pics are busted so here are pictures of him right when he got bit. I also have some pictures of the healing process somewhere in between the pics above (those are from 3 days ago) and these pics:

wow that is a great improvement. :gj: He's still not eating tho? :(

Wow! It just breaks my heart to see those before pictures. But it's amazing how well he healed!! He looks great! ^_^ Good luck getting him to eat, I'm sure if you got him this far you can get him to eat.

Wow that's some amazing healing. That was quite a bad bite! I hope he eats for you soon.

that's a big improvement.. hope he eats for you tho

He's got an Elvis lip going on! Glad he's doing better and good luck on the feeding.

don't worry he will eat it may take a little time but he will i have a girl that i tok in with some major bits on her and she's one of my best eaters now she never gives the rat a chance to get near her.
