    Re: My injured snake..

    Okay that was an interesting experience. She didn't like it too much. She was fighting at first, then gave up, kind of scared me lol, and then she really started fighting it and i almost lost grip of her so I decided to stop. I got the skin off to about the tail or maybe a little past the tail but it looks like its coming off as she's running around.

    Well we got it in there, closed her mouth, then she spit it back out, we put it in there again and she slowly swallowed it. Hardest part was getting her in the sock to be honest.

    Re: My injured snake..

    Ha no problem. It wasnt a big piece of worm by any means, when do you think she'll start eating on her own, if this did trigger it?

    Re: My injured snake..

    Well she is still very active but she doesn't look to hot. Her bottom side is all concave, sign of starvation? My buddy and I are planned to do another force feeding Thursday, hopefully we'll just have to assist her..

    I also just went out and splurged a little on her to create a more natural cage. Got some Repti Bark instead of the carpets. I read in a book that having an artificial looking habitat could stress a snake out so I'm giving this a shot.
