My female coxi from proexotics that had the skin condition a while back is doing well again. I was finally able to get some live pinkies today and she ate two without hesitation. That's after thirty three days without a meal, so I'm happy, to say the least. The pet store is going to have live feeders for the next few weeks, so getting her back on FT shouldn't be a problem. I'll try and post some new pics soon.

I'm glad she is doing good Matt. Once you get in a groove with them they are a really hearty species.

Thanks, Randy.
I knew they were hardy snakes from all I read and what I was told. Leave it to me to make a husbandry mistake and run into problems. I'm just glad I was able to correct it and that she was able to heal herself on her own. I was impressed. That just goes to show what strong and hardy snakes they are. Some, more delicate species would have let that incident stress them out for good(with a bad ending).
