I have a 3 year old male carpet python that was sold to me from a pet store. Whne I got him he looked healthy and natually snappy as most young males 8 have had before.
However I have had him now near on 6 months and he has not once fed. Where my female (same breeder/pet shop) has fed excessantly.
Yesterday I pupled him out because I had not seen him as active as usual and notice that he has dropped weight terribly within days, and he is not flicking his tongue and seems very lathargic.
I have taken him to mcgregor vets (apparently a herp vet in bunbury) who assured me thaT he would call me back once he had done some research? I have not heard back from him and my male has yet again refused food and is still not flicking his tongue.
I feel let down by the vet and terrified for my boy. I don't know what to do or who to turn to. I am quite distressed as the pet shop owner will not help me either.
