I have a 4yr old BP that is approx 4.5' long. My heating pad overheated back in the beginning of May. The back 2/3 of the bottom of the snake scabbed up and looked really nasty. I have been periodically soaking him to help the healing process. He is now almost totally healed. I have been trying to feed him, probably every three weeks with a live small rat for the past 6 months. He still won't eat. It almost appears as if his spine has developed some kinks. I don't know what to do? He has to be reaching his limit on how long he can go without eating.
Will someone please help me with some suggestions or anything?

Thanks - Doug
