    She seems to be doing well

    Well the little BEL ended up having a twisted umbilicus and dropped her yolk early. She crawled out with a big hole in her belly and all skin and bones.

    However she was moving and tongue flicking so I had good hopes for her.

    Well I talked to some friends a year or so ago that had this happen and their advice "get some food in them ASAP" so as soon as the hole in her belly closed up she got a rat pink. Thought I was going to have to force feed her but nope got the rat up to the shoulders and she did the rest..

    This morning with some food working through her system she looks loads better..

    fingers crossed

    Thanks.. I'm a firm believer in the idea that no snake should die of starvation. We cause these animals to "be" so as a result it is our job to do everything with in our power to see that the get a fair shake.. So assist feeding to get their metabolism is going if needed is a must..

    If she took that rat pink, you're already a step ahead. She'll be fine. Sending some good jojo your way!
