condition of milksnake
Does this snake look impacted/swollen? IMHO it doesn't, but I moved her into a new tank (only 6" longer) with perhaps lower temp. She took 2 rat pups 1 week apart (instead of adult mice), then stopped eating. I fixed temp, now it's 75f on cool side and about 84f on hot side (undertankd heat pad) She has BM'd twice, bird-size droppings both times, I humidify tank w/water into coco fiber then let it dry for 2-3 weeks. She prefers cooler side of tank with or without hide. I'm gonna go back to mice, she just refused her 3rd rat pup in as many weeks.
