Although I have searched quite a bit through several snake husbandry books I cannot find any information on care of impacted (blocked up gut) snakes. I have a snake that I think may be impacted and would like some advice on what to do. There really aren't any herp veteranarians in my area so any advice would be appreciated.



By the way I don't know how the snake could have been impacted as it was always fed in a seperate plastic container which contained nothing but the f/t mice I was feeding it. I can however feel a lump in its body a few inches above the vent.

Any advice?
