I just got back from school this week and checked on my python, I've had my pastel male for about 2 months now and he has still not eaten for me although the vet did force feed him some A/D science diet food about 2 weeks ago. Since then he pooped (it was greenish but it dried before I could get it tested) once but I still can't get him to eat. He looks disgusting has almost no muscle that I can feel and weighs only 38g at 3 months . The vet isn't there right now, what should I do, try for another live (rat pup?), frozen, or maybe try physically pushing food down his throat? That might sound a little extreme but I'm very worried now and don't know what to do with such a picky eater (probably not getting another ball for quite some time after this). Thanks.
