Re: Special Needs Snake
I bet you can get her to eat! She IS actually a very nice looking snake. Wow, can you imagine though? She can't smell. In fact...does she have heat vent sensor thingies?

Re: Special Needs Snake
As far as I'm aware of, it appears she does.
If she proves to be a hard feed, I'm seriously considering pureeing her food and feeding it to her through a syringe. I've heard of people using this method on small hatchlings that had problems eating the first few feeds, but I've never personally used it. I taught my old royal to take water from a dropper so I know it can be done (I thought it was a cute trick and it didn't take her long to teach her). It's probably much less stressful than assist or force feeding and I'd much rather use a less stressful method.

When I moved back from Texas with my animals, my mom's place was the only place I could keep them for a while. The little Houdini (she was notorious for escaping) got out of her cage and although we looked everywhere, we never found her. She eventually popped back up in the wash room next to the water heater...in plain site. She was dehydrated pretty bad.  I called a local vet that dealt with reptiles at the time and he told me to try giving her a mixture of pedialyte and water, but be careful of her intake. After a couple of tries of giving her water with a syringe, she got to where she'd open her mouth when I touched her top jaw with the syringe. I gave her so much of this mixture at different intervals. The next day I took her and my burm to the vet for a check up (he was beginning to show signs of an RI...probably got it during the move). She was completely rehydrated (I stayed up all night with her) and he gave her a clean bill of health and told me it was ok to feed her but small meals at first, while my burm got antibiotics for the RI.
Every since then I'd been able to touch her with a dropper and if she wanted it, she'd open her mouth and let me give her a few drops.  She was also quite literally hand fed because she was so tame. She never got me instead of her food although she came close a couple of times lol
This one was my baby. She went almost everywhere with me when it was warm enough. I cried and was depressed like I had lost a child when she passed. She was such a sweet animal. I couldn't have asked for a better pet.

Analiesse was probably about 8 years old or older when she passed. I don't think I have formed a closer bond to any other pet I've had. I bought her as a wee hatchling and she was probably about 3 or so when she escaped the time I mentioned. She really truly loved human attention and even threw 'fits' when I put her up. She pouted! lol She was a one-of-a-kind for sure. I was very lucky to have had her. She's the one who helped me get over my fear of snakes.

Re: Special Needs Snake
aww!
Snakes are truly amazing animals. I just can't believe i spent the whole of my life without them. My husband kind of randomly wanted a ball python, and since we got the one snake, a few months later i got another...and it's just gone from there. I take so much joy and pleasure from taking care of them. I will never, ever be without one again and i hope the ones i have live long, long healthy lives! I'm going to do my best, that's for sure!
BTW Analiesse is a really pretty name and a cool one for a snake! And i'm glad you got over your fear of them!

When I first started keeping, I thought it was ironically funny to name my snakes Irish/Gaelic names since there's no native Irish snakes

Re: Special Needs Snake
She's a very cute snake. I'm sure you'll do great with feeding her too.

Re: Special Needs Snake
Could you get a photo of what it looks like from underneath her jaw? I'm curious as to how much of her upper jaw is exposed.

Re: Special Needs Snake
As soon as I get her, I will be posting pics of her and how I feed. Hopefully sharing her this way will open suggestions on way to better improve her life and eating capabilities. I'm always open to suggestions and constructive criticism in my keeping and husbandry. If I'm doing something wrong and don't realize it and noone tells me, how am I going to correct it?

Re: Special Needs Snake
I've been curious as to how this turned out. Did you ever get this snake, and if so, how is she doing??

Re: Special Needs Snake
No I haven't. She and I keep missing each other. We're both extremely busy. If I don't hear from her by the end of the month, I'll contact her again. I'll let you know how that goes
