You never gave up!! Way to go and congrats and huge hugs!! :D

She is gorgeous, glad to see your patience has finally paid of and that she is eating on her own now.

:D I'm glad you stuck with her and didn't give up! She's beautiful! Congrats & Best of luck with her in the future! :gj:

thanks guys :)

I hate to be the downer here, but her abdomen looks extremely distended and lumpy... any idea what that's all about?

What did you do that did the trick?
My snake is a similar size and age to yours (which is too small for it's age.. about 110g when it's and 7/6/7 hatchling. D:

Thank you, maybe your information could help mine eat.
I'm going to try to assist feed him as soon as I get some smaller babies from my ASFs. I've only attempted to assist feed once and I think it was too big for him with assist feeding.

:]

I read that last thread all the way through and this one... yet no info on what actually worked to get her feeding...

Sounds like you got some great advice and have alot of people invested in that snake... maybe pay it forward?

So that others that are in a similar situation can learn something.

Good that she's eating, but she doesn't look healthy to me. She's very edematous(fluid filled). Is she passing waste normally? She just looks very distended and abnormal.

she look sbloated due to her meal, but she had always been like this, very spongy feel.
She is due for a dump too

I have seen this condition in captive hatched babies as well... it really is not normal though... if it were my snake I would take her to the vet and find out what causes it and try to fix it.

Once again, how did you get her to eat?

It looks as if an obese snake would (with the scrunched up sides as if there was too much fat) but she's obviously not obese.

this is her now!!!

She is gorgeous!

Thanks.
she is feeding really good now and even got a bit of attitude on her when it comes to feeding her... she`s pounding them down!

Ahhh,

Now that is just lovely to see. :)

You did a great job on sticking by her and putting in all the work and love to get her on track. :gj:
