If the snake was indeed feeding well for the original owner's, and not regurging, things should be just fine if the things I and others have mentioned are followed precisely. But if it was having these problems BEFORE as well,....the snake needs to go to a qualified reptile vet for treatment ASAP!, or it will not last long.

Again, If the snake was having these problems before it was placed in YOUR care, I strongly suspect that a good two dose regimen of Flagyl(metronidazole) would be in order.

One other thing I forgot to mention in my previous post is,...don't ever handle a snake for at LEAST two/three days after a moderately sized meal,....this often causes nervous snakes to regurgitate their meals too.


best of luck!, ~Doug
