Corny goes to the vet

[tttaylorrr]

Tell me again, why are you convinced he is ill? I had the impression, perhaps incorrect, that he has refused more meals than perhaps he has?

i think something is up with him because of his unexplainable weight loss recently despite normal feedings.

Corny has never refused a meal with me, except these past two.

He's about 5 years old, right? And you've had him for about a year? Maybe his mind is temporarily on mating & he just isn't that hungry for once.
Has he been behaving differently? Hiding more or less? Active more or less?

my experience with colubrids is limited to him, and i might be seeing things and applying a "ball python filter" to them and panicking.

i think he's a bit more active than he's ever been, but noting crazy. he's just always out of his hides and just generally hanging out. if this was one of my beeps i'd panic.

you bring up an interesting point about him not being hungry for once and it's got me thinking: ironically, despite this thread, i would assume Corny has never been healthier than he is now. for over 4 years he only ate fuzzies. now that he's got good weight on him and a good steady diet, he can start thinking about other things and not be so preoccupied with food.

thanks for your replies. you're going to get a few more now since you posted a couple more times i think lol. im finally getting aroundto replying.
