It was, and still is an uphill battle after 7 months without food, and hes still half the size he should be at his age.

    But, this is not about me, this is about Wax's snake. I'm sorry we've been getting so off topic.

    At any rate, hes not eatting anything, live, f/t, or p/k? Have you noticed him drinking? and which tub is he located in? Its a strange question, but if its getting cool in your house and hes a lower tub, his temps (and humidity, for that matter) can be off. I'm not expert though, just a thought.

    On top of the flagyl, you could ask for a dose of b-vitamins, that should increase his appetite.

    The mouse with this snake was only in with it for a few hours...don't underestimate a 30 gram mouse....
