    Re: Red-phase pickeringii

    On this occasion the forcing didn't do it. She was so resistant to force-feeding that I'd decided to stop it in case the stress killed her. The decision to feed came from her, spontaneously.

    But I think there is something in what you say about mouse organs.... I've seen similar stuff before that made me think that.

    Re: Red-phase pickeringii

    Congrats! I know how it feels to try everything and end up having to just wait it out, not expecting them to live. You always feel there ought to be something you could do if you just could figure out what it is. The sudden turn around is what we always hope for and never really expect. Keep us up to date on her.

    Re: Red-phase pickeringii

    Very good news, James.
    It is most of the times impossible to tell what triggered the snake.

    I've seen it before in other species and I was never abled to say what triggered them.

    Re: Red-phase pickeringii

    Excellent news, James. I've had a few neonate snakes that seemed intent on slow suicide but turned around. But I've also had to euthanize a couple that seemed beyond hope. I won't allow a snake to starve itself to death.
