Well he's only gone just a week ago, and plus he's not got much blocking him up right this moment, I'm going to try a few home theories first considering I'm just a 17 with no money as well (Yes I know this crap about why buy a pet if you can't afford to take it to the vets, but the thing is I didn't buy the little guy-birthday money being used here- thinking he'd have to go to the vets so soon). Plus why take him to the vets straight away and unnecessarily stress him out when home remedies can actually work? Many professional sites with people with their own experiences that I've found, have said how their snakes have faired better being treated at home, than going through the stress of vets and that, and still achieving the same outcome. I know it may sound bad not taking him to the vets straight away, and believe me if I had to money the spare I would, but when a simple free way of doing it at home can work just as well as a vet pumping him full of stuff then I'm going to try that first.
