Think I'm going to lose him =( [Jonas died]

[Nafun]

I've had my milk Jonas for 6 weeks. As I've reported before, he's been sluggish and refusing to feed. Now he's in the middle of a very bad shed, which I don't understand, I've kept him on moist paper towels because of his prolapse, and he's got a large water dish that he soaks in. For now, I've got him wet bagged.

Anyway, today, when I checked on him, I noticed he's got a sizable bulge just anterior to his vent. This can't be good. First thing tomorrow he's going to the vet, but I know this can't be good.

I'm not sure what it could be. Egg impaction (if he is a she), bowel obstruction (which seems unlikely since he hasn't fed in at least a month and a half, aside from a tube feeding at the vet) or the big C, which has me pretty scared.

I never thought I could get so attached to a snake so fast.
