Re: Problems on feeding my sunbeam snake (Xenopeltis unicolor)
Being that it's wild caught, you may want to get it to a qualified veterinarian if possible. That's usually a staple rule with any wild caught reptile, as they may be loaded with parasites.
I also found that they may get what appears to be blisters on them. Don't dry it out, as it will kill it, antibiotics and proper humidity will cure that problem.
Also, since they need such high humidity to survive, keep an eye out for mold. I usually put my heat source under a water source for humidity. Under tank heaters(UTH) are usually more humidity friendly than lamps and bulbs are.
