[guidofatherof5]

UPDATE:
Just gave him a pinkie... he took it!!! it is about halfway in his mouth, just sitting their. Not really sure what he is doing lol. It is just hanging out of his mouth. I'll give you guys another update in a few mins.

EDIT:
He spit it out Is this normal? I'm going to leave it in over night.

This is good. It's a start.

Is it too big? I read somewhere that a snake could eat food only about twice as wide as it's head. Might need to quarter it.

i agree good start. hes hungry and ready to give it ago. but maybe it was too big and too scary for him. prolly thought about it and thought hmmm this could hurt pooping if i eat it haha jk. ry quartering it. but interest in it is a big step in the right direction!

Ok thanks! I'll try quartering it tomorrow.

[snakegirl909]

He ate it!!!
Yeah!!!! When should I try to feed him again?

[guidofatherof5]

That's great.
I would say wait at least 24-36 hours to be sure this one is going to stay down.

Ok thanks

Monitor the feces and feed only lite meals for the next couple of feedings. After that, shovel it in

UPDATE:
I have great news! His poop looks fine, and he has been eating like mad. He's eaten three pinkie quarters, and two night crawlers. It also seems like his cut is healing!!! I'm so happy. He is a lot more active then he was before, which is great. More updates soon.

Now that's the kind of update we like to hear and right around Christmas, perfect.
You'll probably get a shed very soon to aid in the healing process. As a matter of fact you might get a couple quick sheds.
You're doing a great job. Thanks again for taking the time to care.
