You have my respect. I know has been a tough road. Happy you have not given up on her.

She’s also deeeeep in shed and hasn’t pushed at all in like two weeks so that helps minimize some facial trauma from flaring up.
Hopefully after she sheds she’ll have an appetite again. I think her face just hurt too much to eat last time I offered. I’ll offer either jumbo or colossal rat, and then slowly work up to the 4lb rabbit I’ve got on deck. Want her to be pretty well healed before giving prey that big

Big girl shed yesterday and ate again for the first time in three weeks, with great enthusiasm I might add. Face is healing up but still a little puffy and swollen. I think she’d been in some pain up until recently. Would explain her turning down food two weeks ago and not striking her previous meal.

One more tomorrow and one Wednesday. I’m also like halfway through the tube of silver sulfadiazine cream and was told to use that twice daily until healed. It’s looking much better after I found and pulled the two broken teeth. She’s definitely getting REAL sick of me grabbing her by the head twice a day to clean her and such. Hopefully not too much longer. Getting ready to get her an 8’ cage too

Thanks buddy! Honestly I’m hoping she’s slowing a bit on the growing but she’s a very manageable snake for her size either way.

I'm really glad she is doing better. I really wish I could get a small pool in my enclosure!

Thanks man! Now that she’s done being in shed she’s really starting to put up a fight about having her mouth cleaned and ointment applied. Not very fun for either of us.
Go with a 30” deep cage and these concrete mixing tubs from Lowe’s are perfect. I’m using one as a water bowl and another upside down with a hole in it as a hide.
Bonus pic of her colors fairly fired up before tonight’s topical treatments

5 days past feeding day. Peed all over the hallway last night and then pooped in her pool and climbed into it this morning 🤮
Cleaned up the poop soup and gave her the final fortaz injection. Currently curled up in her pool. No pushing as of now. Hoping that having a large enough place to soak recently and having three broken teeth pulled from her face is solving the pushing issue. Cross your fingers with me
