Hi Everyone - So I have posted 2x now and maybe spoke too soon, since my little guy was doing so great that was a week ago. Today though I NEED HELP I am very worried and maybe I shouldn't be - but I would like you to look at these pics and tell me what you think. Here's the back ground.
When I got him he was still on pinkies at the advice of some very helpful people here (he was too big for pinkies)- I moved him to a small live mouse - which he did great with - that was FRIDAY night - this is Sunday night.
When I went in tonight to check on him and change his water - he has not moved since he ate!! he is just laying there - the bulge from the mouse is still there - but I noticed his head looks sunken in and his skin looks wrinkled. I thought at first maybe it was wrinkled from stretching during his meal - but his head is sunken in and his eyes - so I read on here that could be dehydration?? So I took him out of his cage while I changed the water and thought I would give him a little bath to get some water in him possibly. He just laid in the bowl of luke warm water - he did take a few drinks though - but not what I hoped for. So his temperment is fine, he does not mind me holding him, he wants nothing to do with his hide. His temp is 90 on warm side and 82 on cool side - humidity between 50 -60%
So please look at these pics and tell me what I should do and what you think it is and/or if I should take him to a vet and/or if you think its just him still digesting his meal??? Or am I just being an over paranoid MOM!
Thanks, Cara
