Severe Malnution in BP Help.

Didn't you say he was fed dog food already?

Why are you so intent on feeding him again?

Where did he "rescue" these snakes from? What happened to the previous owner?

[Crawly's Mom]

It's only the first day. If he is younger the move is probably affecting him more than the adults. You already fed him once, why are you going to attempt to feed him again the very next day? Balls can go for several months without food, I think offering this frequently or assisting as it were this frequently is only going to make matters worse. Granted that is just my opinion... but it seems like a lot very soon to me.

+1. Never heard of rescuing 40 ball pythons... can we get more of a backstory?

Update? Pics?

No updates?

Wow, this is a really old thread! Also curious about what happened to these snakes.

[serpent fan]

They got fed, and the people that saved them "vanished"
Oops

I am getting 13 BPs and one Boa on Sunday. These are divorce snakes, and the owner has not been allowed to see them for almost 3 months. He is not sure if they were being fed, but they were being watered. If he gets them like he is supposed to, I will be Quarantining them in another house on my property, and following strict cleaning protocols. I plan on offering small prey items one week from getting them if all seems well. All will get betadine baths after a good 5 minute soak in homemade electrolight water. One one is a 2011 and the others are 2010 or older, one is a 2002 model. So sad for this owner but at least his ex has agreed to let him take them finally. Any other ideas or hints?
