Hi,
Last year I had a Honduran stop eating. It began to dehydrate and its skin was wrinkled. The snake lost a lot of weight quickly. I felt sorry for the snake. I took the snake to the vet to be put down. The vet talked me out of it. Blood tests were performed and it was determined that the snake had a viral infection. Something like IBD in Boas. After administering oral antibiotics and pain medication for about two weeks, the snake started to feed. The treatment was continued for about one month. A year later the snake eats well and is a typical body weight for a five year old honduran female. Hope this helps. Alan
