Injured Spine

[guidofatherof5]

A year ago Spring I found this male T.radixes while Herping in Nebraska. He has a severe spinal injury. I decided to take him home for some Ranch TLC. Even with this displaced spine he still has control of his bowels and is able to shed on his own.
The last month or so I've been seeing some changes take place with him. He's been eating a lot less and has been off food for the last 3 weeks.
Today I checked in on him. He really is looking bad. Not the full robust male he was. I offered him a piece of trout and to my surprise he took it and a second larger piece.
I hope this is a sign that he's not ready to give up the fight.
TOUGH AS NAILS THEY ARE.

Rooting for him. That's quite the squish!

Poor guy! I hope he's okay, he's a beautiful radix! (well, they're all beautiful, but..)

Nice color. I like the red flecks.

Yes but he ate the other day for the first time in about a month. I don't think it's a seasonal change off food situation. I'm concerned for the little male.

I got him to take a night crawler tonight.
I hope he's back to eating on a regular basis now. He's really lost some weight.
