She has turned into such a rockstar eater, for one that was labeled a 'problem eater.' shocker, give a snake what it properly needs to live and they thrive. Who would have thought? Someone should let the pet stores know, they must not have been told yet (/sarcasm).
Switched to F/T with no issues whatsoever, strikes immediately. She now comes out of her hide and creeps around, coiling back looking for her food when she smells me heating it with a hair dryer. I can't wait until she's done with injections and I can bump her food size (keeping them small but more frequent for less chance of regurge since meds are every 3 days). Gaining confidence, eats like a champ, looking good after her shed.
I'm *so happy* with her progress! Such a turnaround from the half dead little noodle she was not that long ago. Fingers crossed for her next vet check, I hope the vet has the same thoughts I do!
And of course you all have been amazing and helpful for this newbie who was a bit out of her element, having only raised a happy healthy snake. With three animals (two snakes and a little stray kitten) at my house currently being cared for under the eye of my vet they're getting to know me pretty well! (Wonder what the odds are they'll let me bring all three in for their rechecks at the same time, hmm...) My bleeding heart just can't say no to the animals that need help.
