Firstly, why did you feed your snake a gecko? Stick to mice! If it is two or three days after feeding your snake is probably digesting it's food, if it's longer it may be sick.

I agree with Andy. Stick to the mice. If you care about the snake, take it to an exotic animal vet soon.

I agree with both posters above.
If your snake is not moving I would take it to a qaulified reptile vet as soon as possible.
And I would not be feeding parasite ridden geckos to any of my snakes. IMHO.

Why did you cut a gecko's tail off? I don't understand what you were trying to do there, but if keeping snakes is illegal in your area and there is no vet around there, find the closest one and go if you want your snake to live.

Man I so have no clue what you are doing.
I suggest you REALLY start reading on the species of snakes you already have, and not get another one if you cannot get a vet. Its a responsibility of all pet owners to have medical care to provide to their pets. Its inhumane to allow any animal to suffer a health issue because it was brought into an area where no vet is located.
Nothing we can tell you can help you if the snake is not moving and is ill. We aren't vets and we can't see your snake.
Just MHO.

Let's all hope for the sake of this snake, that Brooklyn is just a troll looking for attention.

Glad to hear that your snake is alright. Pinkies are definitely a better food source for your snake 
Keep us posted and if you can post pics it would be great!

What do you have your temps at? Sounds like if both are having digestion problems your temps aren't right. Again if you can get them to a vet GET THEM THERE! we can only give guesses, only a vet can say for sure.

Did you do ANY research?? If they are illegal where you are, I would suggest that you not get any more snakes, expecially since you are having problems with the ones you DO have. You should take them both to a vet AT ONCE.
