To the OP, the snake looks a little young/small to be developing follicles, but of course it's always hard to tell size by a picture. But as I said before it's really just a symptom of an upset stomach. It could be any number of reasons, follicular development is just one. I have some hatchlings that do this regularly after feeding.
I still think you're wrong. Check the second definition.Originally Posted by snakesRkewl
resorb [rɪˈsɔːb]
vb
(tr) to absorb again
[from Latin resorbēre, from re- + sorbēre to suck in; see absorb]
I believe to absorb would be the correct term, since it happens once not more than once
- - - Updated - - -
re·sorb (r-zôrb)
v.
1. To absorb again.
2. To dissolve and assimilate such things as bone tissue.
The follicles were part of the snakes body already, when not used, they are resorbed by the body so the nutrients can be used elsewhere.
I would use Absorb to describe something that came from outside the body like food or water. for example the snakes body would absorb the nutrients from a digested rodent.
P.S. Sorry it took me so long to reply, I've been busy.
