A little update -

She still hasn't eaten, for one.

With meds being administered for this long she has been getting a lot stronger and healthier. But her head and the 2-3 inches behind it still don't have as good control as she used to.

We've kept the feeder mouse in another tank - and to make a long story short, one of the cats figured out how to get into the tank and get the mouse. he's done it twice in two days. We chased him down and got the mouse, thinking it would still be alive as it was the day before.. but to no avail. Dead mouse under the Christmas tree!!

So.. we picked up the mouse and put it in our little Dagron's cage, holding our breath and crossing our fingers..

...and I think it stressed her out more than anything. I'm not real sure why...?? Because it was dead? (She's used to live) Because she's hungry and can't strike to eat?

So our girl STILL hasn't eaten since late Oct/early Nov., and now a mouse makes her a little loopy. I don't get it.

Maybe I should just wait until she's completely better.. but the way things are going....?? I think we need to bring her back to the vet.


I *never* thought I would feel this way about a serpent!..lol!
