I have a friend that has an anaconda that won't eat, he took it to a local pet store and they force fed it and it still won't eat, the anaconda keeps losing weight any advise? I was thinking if it keeps getting worse to just put it in the freezer?!!

how long has it been since it last ate- before the force feed? How big is he/she? what prey was it eating before? mice, rats, rabbits, pigs, ??? were they fresh killed, frozen/thawed, live....
The more info we have- the better we can help you.

And what's the temperature in the cage? Once I was given a young anaconda that wasn't feeding. When I gave it the right temperature, it turned into a pig.

What are you feeding it Anacondas prefer to eat water fowl my friends eats 3 large ducks in 1 sitting but it's very large. What is the size of yours if it's small try feeding it baby ducks and as it gets bigger feed it larger ones.
