    HELP I think my snake might be sick :(

    I have a BEL ball python male that's 9 months old & we have had him since he was 3 months. He has always done great feeding for us & is currently on medium rats BUT within the last month he has stopped eating. We try and feed him but he is absolutely not interested. I thought it was because we changed his enclosure but I'm not so sure anymore. Until 2 weeks ago his poo & urate were normal...I noticed what looked like a worm & took a pic. Tonight I noticed he had passed some watery urate & a good sized area of nothing but brown watery poo. I have only owned snakes a lil over a year so I'm not sure if he got infected food or what. There is no vet within 100 or more miles here that does snakes.

    ANY ADVICE PLEASE

    If nothing ever changed, there would be no butterflies.

    1st pic is of urate when he quit eating. It almost looks like a worm but not sure. We went back to a smaller 1 after this.

    2nd pic is poo & urate from tonight after not eating for a month

    3rd pic is his enclosure. The thermometer is a bit off cause the sensor came loose.

    I'm wondering if medium rats aren't too big and he was just full for a long ass time. If it were me, I think I'd let him sit for a week and them offer a small rat? Just a thought. How much does he weigh?
