He ATE, He ATe, well kinda
Well as some people know here my baby bp hasnt eaten since i got him over 7 weeks ago. I decided today to bring him to my local reptile store where the owner breeds bp's and said he would be more then happy to show me the proper way to "forcefeed" my snake. I know it stresses the snake out but i was just happy to know that my bp finally has something in his stomach. The owner told me the if he regurgitates it up within the next two days that he could have a internal perasite in which case id need to bring him to the vet. He also explained to me the do's and donts about forcefeeding. If done properly it will only help the snake to start eating. I just hope it gets better from this point. He said i should also attempt to feed him on monday which i thought was odd but he said it would be for the best. We fed it a good size rat fuzzy so hopefully he'll take another one down next time and ill keep moving up in size from there. Thanks to everyone for the opinions and help along this bumpy road.
