oral meds for this- not sure if there's any sort of injectable treatment now or not for snakes- as long as your vet has experience with snakes? -I hope!
He has ate pre killed for the last year, I buy live rats and gas them before feeding. They have been expired maybe 3-4 minutes before I feed. He was eating frozen then went off food for about a month and I finally got him to eat a pre kill and he hasn’t missed a meal since. I have not notice anything any he’s poo until this last clean up.

I only have 1 vet in my area that deals with snakes, I hope that he does right and fixes my boy up.

After This past Saturday I am not feeding anymore pre kill anymore. when I picked up rats, I was a little upset in the conditions of their rat racks. I know they are “food” for other animals but the rats deserve to have a good quality of life up until the time they are fed off.
