Thanks a lot Aaron,

You put me at ease. His tail doesn't look swollen at all, I looked at pictures of bloated/constipated snakes and my fellow looks nothing like anything in the pics. His tail isn't firm or anything and still curls around my arm fine when i hold him.

I was wondering why he kept losing all this weight even after the meal was digested( Aren't passing urates a sign of digestion?).

I'll stop soaking him now, but should I continue to feed him? He ate a small AND a medium rat last thursday, almost 190gms of food. Should I feed him again this Thursday? When should I start worrying about constipation/Obstipation/ Impaction?

He just shed beautifully last week.

Thanks a ton again,

Mak
