Yea, and when the egg yolk went into his throat, I saw a little sitting in his throat so I went to massage it down and I felt bubbles, as if it couldn't pass into his stomach. I could have an xray done to see if his digestive tract is even able to pass anything down, but x rays cost a lot of money.I'm going to give him a few days rest, keep him hydrated and attempt a pinky pump on Monday or Tuesday. I will attempt a tube feeding or pinky pump feeding 2-3 times a week and if he doesn't start gaining weight, then we know its not working and I will put him down.
But if he does start gaining weight, we know something is getting through and we can try and get him large enough to start eating whole prey items. We can at least try. I chose to breed my snakes and I brought this snake into the world (with the help of two of my snakes) and I have to give him a chance. I have to fight for him. He's trying to eat. He's making the effort. If he's at least trying to live, I have to do everything I can for him.
