Hey everyone posting a update to a adult male corn I have. He regurged about a month ago.

Since then I took the advice of Don S. and fixed his hide to his warm spot so he couldnt push it about the cage, the temp was higher befor but I have a thermostat now keeping it at 80-83 degrees (checked with temp gun) the rest of his tank stays at about 70-75 degrees.

He took one meal since the last post which was a fuzzy probably around 2 weeks ago, he shed about 4 days ago. Since then he has not ate. He refused the hopper mouse I tried to feed him yesterday, left it overnight and just took it out now.

He wanders around the tank like hes looking for food. He makes a weird sneezing noise, not like a URI wheeze but more like a cough. He still has runny stool, even without food in him he has stool mostly urates but runny.

The female that I purchased caged with him has done a 180 with the same set-up. Eats like a horse and has solid stool now(after flagyl). Im stumped, he has not lost any "real" weight yet, but he has been the most problematic snake I have ever kept.

Any ideas form anyone would be appreciated
