Problem with my baby king

snakemother Jan 18, 2014 07:58 AM

My baby blotched who threw up one of his pinkies awhile back finally ate again a week ago. I just saw that he hasn't digested them yet. He has 2 lumps and really doesn't want me handling him. He's now under the warm hide (I don't think he was on the warm side before) it's 90f under there by digital thermometer and the heat source is UTH. He has fresh water. Can he still digest them with no ill effects? Is there anything else I should do? Is it vet time? Thanks.

Made a vet apt for today - I'm just too worried. My old guy had a lump, turned out to be kidney failure and I had to put him down.

Sorry about your husband(old guy) Water does not cure dehydration. Make sure there is no water loss thru dry air(ventilation). When kings are neonates, they live IN the ground and avoid water loss.

I am only saying this because, a major reason for not being able to digest properly is dehydration. Best wishes and good luck
