    badly dehydrated snakes are unable to digest anything force feeding could cause a re-gourge than waiting more time to recover. Hydration hydration hydration.

    Your looks quite familiar. This is the little one we saved last month. This is after 6 or 7 meals. She is about 48 gm here, she arrived smaller than this and with nasty stuck shed and mites... I never photographed her when she arrived she went straight into a warm bath or water and then enclosure. I took some quick shots 4 days on in. Then this one 2 weeks after that.

    She is the 5 this year that have been similar states I have rescued. 3 have been re-homed now and are doing well. I kept the other 1 and 'wiggles' is still up in the air once she gets back to normal weigh for her age (6 months) I'll decide what is to become of her too.

    Remember perfect husbandry! Is CRITICAL!!! 80/90ºF!! make sure you correct the temp drop 75 is low for digestion as well. Make sure to provide a hot spot of 90ºF.

    So I got the temp and humidity right yesterday, it wasn't to far off. I soaked him for a while and I actually saw him drink, for a good 30 seconds! So he's a little more hydrated now so that's a plus. Now just let him be for a few days and then try to feed him.
