Ooohh...that looks strange =(

Now when you say trout do you mean like normal trout?

That's what I use...normal supermarket Rainbow Trout for human consumption. Probably best to avoid the one with spinach and ricotta stuffing though!!

[DEKAN]

Well...bad news

The trout didn't work, I put a small nightcrawler and nothing, she looks thin...today I'm going to buy a pinkie and scent it with fish...The new terrarium, has changed and this may be the cause of stress for her, it has only newspaper, cause the vet said that the contact with the peat moss could infect the wounds

[Snaky]

Bad to hear. I hope it works...

It's true though what the vet said, the best way to keep everything clean is to use newspaper.

Robert, it may well be the stress of all the vet visits, surgery etc that has upset her and put her off feeding for a while. Give her a little time to regain her composure, and hopefully she'll start eating again. I agree, it is very important to keep her enclosure completely clean at this time.

On sick or injured snakes, I use paper towels because I fear the effects of the newspaper ink.

And on top of the paper towels, you can scatter torn strips of paper towel. This gives more of a feeling of "substrate".

I too use paper towel, more because it's a bit more textured than newprint. Nice idea with the torn strips!

I learn every day.. It might indeed be better to use paper towels, although I've not had any problems with newspapers. But I haven't had any snake's with injuries, I've used it for quarantine untill now. A very good idea with the torn strips.

A few weeks ago, when the Nerodia came in with the lawnmower injury, we put her on torn strips of paper towel.

I was shredding paper towels for this purpose, and my husband came in and asked, "Amish paper shredder?"

LOL!

hahaha!!!.....thats funny......how is she doing????

[DEKAN]

Well...she hasn't eat yet , so today I went to buy a pinkie...but the pet store didn't have any...until tomorrow

So...I wish I have luck tomorrow.

I really don't want to force feed her...but if it's necesary, I'll do it


here is a picture. I couldn't get a clear shot of the stitches and I didn't want to upset her so I just leave her alone :P
