I feel like you might be hitting the nail on the head with the comment about prey size. She was eating close to this same size rat last fall and has gained probably 8-10lbs since then. She might just be hungry?Originally Posted by Sauzo
Well that could be an idea for sure. She might have something bothering her face. I have no sympathy though for a 2 hour drive to the vet lol. The vet i use is about an hour drive into Seattle. There are a lot of closer exotic vets to me but Dr Bennett has come recommended by a few people and she has been taking care Harley, Rosey, Dottie and Allie when i had Allie.
Also like i mentioned, it might be you are doing the same thing i am doing with Caesar. Being so used to a certain size food item working until it doesnt work lol. I have been just blissfully feeding Caesar his jumbo rat until one day i noticed, it really left next to nothing for a lump. Thats why this past Saturday i gave him the 2XL guinea pig which left a lump but he still was cruising around afterwards.
And hopefully your buddy isnt right about 'Some retics just push, plain and simple'. If he's right, may god help you with Phyllis
At least you have options within the same state and within an hour drive for vets. The only registered reptile vet near me is in Alabama somewhere around 2 hours away if I remember correctly. Teaching 4 college classes a semester leaves very little time to make 4hr round trips to vets that possibly could cancel your appointment 15 minutes before you’re supposed to show up because the doctor is apparently scared of the size of your snake. Which I know isn’t an excuse for not visiting a vet, hence the off hand comment a while back about almost thinking to rehome her
