Well, we're still alive and having trouble. Many times I wonder what reasons are justified in the decision to euthanize a snake in this situation. Finally shed for the first time, in 2 pieces. Still no poop, no more urates either that I could tell, but killed a hopper and didn't eat it within 6 hours either. I've been force feeding 2 f/t pinks weekly. I bought the pinkie pump and it looks much grosser than whole food. Yuck. Haven't broken a pinkie yet! I guess we're holding steady or I'm going too slow, in this instance should I pump it full of mouse and set a time frame on how long I will continue this?

We're getting stronger everyday! I am still doing the fluids by tube. The wobbling is almost gone and the little fella is noticeable stronger. It's beginning to resist the tubing and I see the tongue flicking thing regularly. The enclose is being explored now and some urates were passed this am. I can even see the dark spot through the ventral scales of the meal I gave it Mon. Poop baby, poop! When it does I'll offer it food again.
