Do you like sucking jalapenos?

Sorry to hear that Cowslips. :(

So, I brought my non-feeder to the vet today. The vet gave him a appetite stimulant/wormer and some protein slurry. I should know if it worked in a week or two. This is him a couple of weeks ago. You can see he has started to loose weight.

This is what he gets tube fed until he starts eating again.

I've heard from one person who had success tube feeding and rehabilitating their snake using this stuff, so hopefully it works for my guy. He's kept it down since his vet visit earlier today, which is a good sign. I really want him to pull through, but if he doesn't start eating in the next couple of weeks I'm just going to return him to where I bought him from and send out the female on a breeder's loan. Blah snakes are stressful.

That's the same kind of snake someone gave me that got abandoned at a Petco. I couldn't get it to eat and tried stunned mice and anoles. Ended up calling an exotics rescue. Hope that one starts eating. :(

Small edit: The one I gave to the rescue is doing fine now though.
