These little guys are super strong... He should be fine since you're obviously doing a good job taking care of him now. We have a Kenyan Sand Boa at work who didn't eat for 17 months and he is just a tiny little thing, maybe 7 or 8 inches. I've gotten him to eat 2 weeks in a row now so there's still hope for your little guy!

well lafter talking to the owner I am not gladdI got a QT process. the snake came with a mild RI he says. SO all the issues aer most likey that as theye no pus ( he was keeping in a sand mix a first so it most likey that what I removed. and the mouth is drooled sealed again which I cleaned up. I also got the lower jaw pic



so I am now extending my 3 snakes qt until the end of july and am going to call and see if I can get the batyil( spelling ? ) anti botics. the little guy lookd like he fine from the top but if you look ad he belly ( can't get a pic pic an hold him too) the areas looks a little caved in and the side are a little loose. like dehydrated. but I see him with the face in the water and looks like he may be drinking ( right now as matter of fact )

fyi I did gethe snake to a vet, it does have an RI. I got he batyil ( spelling) fo it e vet saysto put a drop in with a little baby food( strained meat) and force feed it that because it only weighting in at 12 grams. soI am goinot to inject soem into a rat taile and getthat into it gut this afternoon( less messy ) and see how it goes. The vet did remove a mucus glob about the size of a grain of rice (, and I removed more (smaller pieces this morning ) SO it not going to be a great weekend for the little guy if he makes it ..

The Vet told you to give your snake baby food?

yeah he strained meat one , I think they eat every day like a dog lol.. I am gonig tto use a rat tail ft abd inject the batyil inot it I figure about 6 drops worth since the snake so light .

All I am going to say, is that you dont even know the right name for BaytRil, and your going to feed it to your snake....


....just sayin

Maybe I miss understand but the vet should have told you how much Baytril to give the snake, this post sounds like you are sort of guessing how much to give it.

If he did not give you a dosage I would call him back and ask his opinion.

the vet said one drop with the baby food , and to feed every day. I thinknig if I fed this snake everyday I end up drowning it in baby food cause it would not get a chance to digest at all. so a couple drops in a rat tail would be the same dose over a weekend. My spelling for lack of bettewr words suck I try to spell the word of the top of my head with out taking time to look them up .
