Re: White Lipped Python

Albert refused food twice in May, just tried again today and he ate a small rat for me...yay! I kept his tub covered with a blanket.....Could be coincidence or it actually helped!

Re: White Lipped Python

Good to hear you got him to eat Snoopy and you could be on to something with the blanket trick

Re: White Lipped Python

Another large rat down tonight, and he just shed for me, was out and waiting for food. He didn't even give me a chance to get the rat in the tub before he grabbed it! Can't express how happy I am that this guy is getting better!

Re: White Lipped Python

I know what you mean, it was such a relief when Red finally started eating again after the surgery and antibiotics. Wasn't as bad when he went off food with the rest of the mature males during breeding season this year, and now they're all back on weekly feedings to put some more size and weight back on. On that note, could mating season have been a factor in your python's lack of appetite?

Re: White Lipped Python

Got this guy out to move his tub to a different room last night, and got a weight on him while he was out. On May 31st he was 975 grams. Last night he was 1,065! His scales feel/look much better, he's staying hydrated and eating well. Woo! Here's some pics. After a few minutes he chilled out, but now that he's feeling better he's very sketchy and untrustworthy.

Re: White Lipped Python

Congratulations on getting him well back on track Snoopy, and a snake that looks the good can be as sketchy and as untrustworthy as he pleases

I completely agree Dave I have just accepted him as being the hands off one in my collection lol, hope to set him up in a nice bio-active soon.

Gaining almost 100 grams in a month is amazing to me! I'm just so relieved that he's eating well now and on his way to getting healthy....I almost gave up
