    UPDATE! New snake recovering well!

    Great news! My newest BP is healing up well! I was a bit worried seeing that he had a few problems when I rescued him (see thread) from a filthy tank in a store, but he's doing much better now! He's still not feeding but I have been keeping a close eye on his weight and logging it every few days and there has not been a significant drop. I'm going to try to feed live mice as well and then worry about trying to switch him over to rats... and now, the power of a little tlc and a good shed!

    Before:

    After:

    Feeling better:
    Be good to your family.

    Very nice. I'm glad he's doing so much better. Good luck getting him eating as well.

    You might bend, till you break cause its all you can take
    On your knees you look up decide you've had enough
    You get mad you get strong wipe your hands shake it off

    Re: UPDATE! New snake recovering well!

    I agree! Nice job recovering that guy (if it's a guy, I didn't notice if you specified)!! Something you might try to induce a feeding response is using a gerbil or a mouse or rat that's been in gerbil bedding. I haven't personally used this method, but I've heard that it can help those that are a little reluctant get started back. Keep us posted on how he progresses though!
