Oh what good news! Glad to hear Jelly is finally unclogged. Bet you and Jelly feel much better now.

I wonder if constipation in snakes is anything like with people. One of my older kids, as a toddler, had awful problems that way. I remember a doctor explaining to me that once the process started, it can become a vicious cycle. As the lining stretches it loses some nerve function, so there's no "signal" to pass feces. So basically the more they are constipated, the less they end up feeling the urge to defecate because the nerves aren't sending the right signals efficiently.

I do remember that after a bad bout, we had to be very careful he didn't back up again because the organs are all stretched out and still a bit "dulled" so it was terribly easy to start the cycle all over again before full healing had occurred.

I wonder if that's similar to what happened to your Jelly.
