Huummmm.... Bet there's someone here that will care for that poor injured thing.

I hope. It may not fare so well out in the wild.

How close are you to Kevie and Anje?

Kevie? Anjie?

no idea if i can get the snake eating i will keep it (more then likely) ill keep it anyways cause i cant send a sick animal away, we will see how this snake fares out if it can eat pinkies i will try feeding a pinkie or two

He's probably going to lose his eye. Most snakes seem to do fine with one eye Just watch it for signs of infection. I would go with something a bit smaller for him, whatever he'll eat. That may be just worms or fish at first. You can always switch him to mice later... or who knows, maybe he'll take to mice right away. It really is a good deal of trial and error with these guys until you figure out what works just right for your individual snake... and even then, sometimes they'll throw you a curve ball just to keep things interesting As long as they have water, snakes can go a good long while without eating, so just keep trying things, several failed feeding attempts really aren't that big of a deal in the long run. Good luck and keep asking questions

[duh duh duh]

where in Canada are you at?

[BeardedIggy]

British Columbia i will be going to the petstore today they dont sell earth worms so illjust get some fish for the small guy and fuzzie/pinkie mice for the others.

i have some friends living in Alberta, today i bought 2 fuzzie 3 pinkie and 5 fish is it possible that my snakes arent hungry because all 3 of them would not eat the mice :S i feed them seperately in case anyone is wondering
