Finiky Blood
My wife and are currently caring for a blood python that wont eat. We're
doing this as a favor for the lps. My wife and i used to breed corn snakes
and have had experience with snakes that dont want to eat. Heres my delema,
the lps said they got the snake sometime in late October or early November.
The snake ate once right when he got him. The snake didnt eat for a few
weeks, then was sold as a non-eating snake to a customer. The customer
brought it back when they couldnt get it to eat (about a month or so). So
now it's going on February 1st with no food. His setup that the pet shop had
was astro turf, plus no hideaway, i know - way bad. Thats what i told him.
Well we have the snake at our house so we can keep a better eye on him, also
less traffic here than the shop. I couldndt give an age for the snake but
he's young (hes about 18" long). His current setup is cypress mulch, a nice
sized hidehole, for heat we run a heating pad on low and are using a ceramic
bulb to heat the air (tank temp on the warm side is 86). We also mist the
tank to help with humidity. I really dont want to see this snake die, here
or at the the pet shop. We've been trying to feed him pinks, no luck. Any
help would be appreciated.
