>>Maybe heat... This tank is our tank still using bulbs for heat, and the suggested bulb burned out and we were using the one that came with it until payday. I had also borrowed the thermometer from this tank for the kids to do an experiment in another tank.
>>FYI - the air temp using bulbs or under tank heaters are the same, however, the substrate is 5-10 degrees warmer using the undertank heaters.
>>I will try feeding him Monday - a small pinkie. If he still has problems, the meds mentioned I can get from a friend.
no do not feed Monday.
Give the snake time to recover.
wait at least 10 days from regurge.
I would get an under tank heater or at least put a flat stone under the lamp to absorb heat and allow warmth for the snake's belly, to aid in digestion.
do you have this hatchling and another together?
how large is the enclosure?
when you do feed, after 10 days, give it the smallest pinkie you can get. I would also take a razor blade and slit the pinkie a couple of times down it's length. Helps digestion.
Then give it a week to make sure this is digested properly and feed it another small meal, slit as well.
If it digests this properly then you can go back up to a larger pinkie for a couple of feedings and then go up to a small fuzzy
don't rush it.
