Good point, Greg. Did you worm him after you got him?

RE: Re: RE: Feedin Help
Greg is right Sammy, if youve had her vet checked/treated for parasites, then dont be concerned.
Q: is she housed with male or alone? TRy the opposit
q: are you weighing and recording weight? how much has she lost?
if temps and other enviromwental factors are ok , dont be too concerned.
q: how often are u offering food, maybe too often is strssing?
q: how much are you handling? maybe dont?
tried fresh kill? fresh blood works well.
wishing you the best

RE: Re: RE: Feedin Help
2 months isn't long for a snake to refuse food. I don't feed any of the larger snakes during winter. He might be a bit freaked out by the new surroundings, perhaps an enclosure somewhere quiet for a while with no handling.
But you also said he is lossing weight
. How much and is he also losing condition?

A: She has been checked/treated for parasites.
A: she is with monty there always been together even before i got them.
A: she has lost about 800gramms
A: offenin food once a month
A: i handle her about once a week.
A: i have tried live,fresh killed.
even though its 4, how big is it? maybe it was never a good feeder and is small 4 its age?
Strop is 7 foot long with last shed.
What methods did the previous owner use ? Where did he keep them ?
David had them outside in a bird cage he did not handle them nor feed them over winter so when i got them they did not eat for 3.5 mths. before i got them home.
So with all that.
I should but her back in her enclosure do not handle her for what a few weeks then offer food?
PK
p.s
thanks to everyone for this as i said before am not saying i know everything about snakes but am learning as i go i did not know snakes can go for mths on end without food.
