Thanks for the tip, Mike! Yeah, I was kinda worried about that "snake formula" thing.

Amazingly, he is more alert now 3 days after one forced feeding. He has not moved from his hot-side hide (that I noticed) but when we lift the hide, his head comes up into an s-coil. He hasn't done that in a while. Hope he eats in 2 days! Grrrr!

Hey Mike, I don't know how to sex these guys! The vet charges 20 bucks per snake - just to determine gender. That doesn't include anything else - no "well check" or anything else.
