What are the odds?

You'll get it next time!

Good he's eating.

Good he's pooping.

He's a corn snake, he will definitely poop again.....and soon....that's how they roll.

He looks so zombie-esque in blue. :rofl:I'm so glad he seems to be okay, and he seems bound and determined to reassure you by eating in shed!

Nice job, Corny!! Now give Momma a poop she can use!!

alright! sorry i stepped away from the forum!!!

so Corny continues to eat and do well; he just shed out on monday! and with that, he gave me a poop!!!!!! so i bagged it, placed it in the fridge and ran it to the vet on tues. night. we should have results in a couple days!!! they're doing a regular test as well as the crypto test. fingers crossed it's all good!

he is also up to 302g after his shed and poop; a 3g gain. progress is progress imo!!!

i'll try and get some pictures tonight! :)

Nice! Keep us posted! Thinking good thoughts and that there's nothing in the poop sample, or it's something easy to deal with if anything. Since he's doing so well, I am pretty confident (although not a vet) that if there is anything in his poop, it's pretty benign and/or easy to cure.

Thinking of you, Corny, and the rest of your crew.

Was starting worry about you, kiddo! Glad for the poop!

okay guys! i got the phone call on friday: both tests came back negative. it was expensive, but it's worth the peace of mind. i asked the vet what my next steps should be and she asked if he was eating; yes. she told me to keep an eye on him and to bring him back if things don't keep improving. she seemed like she wanted to get off the phone lol, but it was a friday and i could understand. then i asked her about quarantine and she "yeah it's wise to keep him away for a while."

what do you guys think? what do i do now? do i just keep him in QT and see if he keeps improving? also, i'm trying to get him a 40gal upgrade soon: should i hold off on that until this has all passed?

any advice or input is much appreciated! thank you all!!!!
