Tosha,I agree with all that you suggest except the last part:

"- drop it in the tub and leave it over night"

Have you ever seen what a rodent can do to a snake? I have seen many snakes NOT survive the gnawing that rodents do on them when left for extended periods of time. I NEVER trust a live rodent in a cage with a snake for more than an hour or so. Perhaps for a few hours, but only if you can make quick peeks to check that all is okay.

The flagyl and panacur treatment should be repeated in two weeks and these usually help. Flagly often acts as an appetite stimulant. If you are tubing the drugs, add some Pedialyte or Gatorade too.

Good luck!
