Hey Guys,
Around 8 weeks ago, my brother in law was house sitting for me, and left the pythons door open after feeding him, and he escaped. So several weeks later, we gave up searching for him, and purchased a new one. Since then, we moved house last weekend, and my cat found him yesterday behind the entertainment unit at the new house, unfortunately the cat had a bit of a chew on him, so he had a few puncture wounds on him. I rushed him straight to the vet and they x-rayed him, and cleared him of any lung or spinal injuries, and have placed him on anti-biotics.
Now, the thing im concerned about is, he obviously would not have eaten in those 8 weeks, and I attempted to feed him lastnight, but he was not interested at all. Will he eat when he's ready ? or should I attempt to force feed him ?
Btw, he is a Jungle Python, and is approximately 4-5 months old.
Also, is it ok to place two male Jungle pythons of the same age together in the cage? Obviously, this will only be temporary untill I can purchase a new cage.
