ok me and my girlfriend just rescued a ball python from a girl that had no idea what she was doing... he has a severe case of R.I. i took him to the vet this afternoon.. he said he is very underweight and looks like he hasent eaten in a long time. according to the girl he may also be in shed... hes in rough shape but the vet said with the injections he'll pull through it... my question is the vet told me to try to get him to feed right away and keep trying untill he does eat. he just got his 1st injection so he is still kinda rough... i dont know if it would be good to try and feed when he is so conjested... i was wondering if anyone has had any experiance with this? any opinions would be apperiated!! i have other snakes but none of them have ever had R.I. let alone this bad of a case.
