I just read the whole thread too :shock: Wow, an epic... you poor thing jacinta! (and your snake too) One thing I have been wanting to comment on all along, is his toung flicking properly? (out up and down back in again) If they are dehydrated or really sick the toung flicking stops.
Also, a (1 single) fuzzy?? that wouldnt be a feed for him? If I were you, I would be feeding him 5 fuzzies.... if he will eat one, feed him heaps (til he gets better) If he has been living on 1 fuzzy a feed, he might be starving? That could be why he is healing slow? Just a thought, not a criticism.
When you feed a snake, the food can be the size of the girth of the snakes stomach (or a little bigger), dont go by the size of its head (sometimes it looks like he is putting a volkwagen into a sleeping bag :lol
. Looking at the pic earlier (of the healing hole) I would have thought he was feeding on weaners at least. I realise he had a sore mouth (so small food for ease of eating) but I am sure he needs more than 1 fuzzy a feed? If your snake eats say, young adults for example, and you are out and only have say, fuzzies, you have to feed the snake the same weight of fuzzies as the young adult would weigh) How is his mouth now by the way? How is the hole now?
If I were you, jacinta, I would get a packet of fuzzies (if his mouth is still sore, if its better, some weaners) and let him eat as many as he can take, then give him plenty of heat (30-32 degrees) If he has only been getting one fuzzy every month (on average with his non eating periods) he might be very weak.... feed him up... IMO
Good luck, please give us an update soon
