I've been trying to read up on it more, trying to find anything to ease my mind or rule it out, but the symptoms seem pretty generic and just bring up more questions
I've had this snake for a year now, and I'd say he was hovering close to a year old, give or take, when I got him. If he's 2 years old, he hasn't grown very much in that time.
I'm not sure what other possibilities there are here. But if this is something that's exacerbated by stress (considering this is a very stress sensitive species) I'm sort of surprised it wasn't worse during all the vet visits, treatments and prodding he was getting last year
He was gaining weight, eating every 6-7 days from the first week of October into the first week of January. He regurgitated on 1/13, but went into shed a week or so after, so I had assumed that it was stress. I waited another week after he shed to feed another mouse, and he upped it a day later, undigested. Right now he's back down to his previous weight.
The only other thing I could think of is that the hookworms never resolved. The vet didn't think that could be the case though. I feel really bad for this snake.
