hooray for weigh day!

[dakski]

okay, i'm going to do some legwork and find a good exotic vet and see what they can do for me. i haven't needed one since i lived ~40mi away from where i am now. at least i can get some peace of mind there. i don't have to worry about getting a fresh sample; he's a poop machine.

from the chart and what you're saying: he shouldn't have lost weight like he did. it seems that way.

i just feel so stupid and helpless here. i'm finding it hard not to beat myself up...i know ball pythons; i brought Corny in thinking i could handle it...corns are supposed to be easy. yet here i am with a snake that should be gaining weight like a newborn child suddenly drop ~50g. and my first thought was to ignore your advice???? and give rats!?!??! stupid...i feel so stupid to have ignored your advice from my previous threads on him and the others that tried to help.

thank you so, so much for still replying and trying to help. <3

• tttaylorrr,
  
  If anything is going on health wise, I seriously doubt it isn't reversible/treatable. He will be fine.
  
  Corns are easy peasy compared to BP's (very adaptable and flexible and not nearly as sensitive or picky); it sounds like you have some mitigating circumstances here, even if it is just the stunted growth.
  
  He will be fine. Don't beat yourself up. Instead, put that energy towards figuring out what is going on and CONTINUING to do what's right for Corny.
  
  You are doing great, just keep it up.
  
  My pleasure, RE replying. I, and others on the forum, are here for you. Just keep us posted and we will happily help in any way we can!

  P.S. Corns are poop machines and drop some hellacious butt bombs! A sample will not be hard to get, agreed!
