I posted two weeks ago about a sin. milksnake that regurgitated two weeks in a row. I feed her this morning and so far she has kept it down, knock on wood. My concern is that she is starting to appear weak, when I pick her up she squirms a little but you can tell that she isn't srong. Her skin looks loose on the sides. Is this due to not eating and being so small and she will be okay in a day or two, or is she probably not going to make it. She moves around which might be good, but she acts like she prefers to stay where she is, I set her in her cage ontop of the hide and she didn't move for almost 30 minutes, usually she darts into it. She also appears to have a hard time curling back on herself like when her head goes off your hand, she only makes it about half way up, not much more. Basically I just need to know if this is normal after not eating for almost a month( 2 weeks of regurgitation followed by 2 wks. of no food).

she doesn't sound good at all. Let us know how she is doing.

Don't think that will be necesarry, she died last night some time. Woke up she wasn't moving at all. Don't really
know what to say, thanks for all the advice. I guess that's just how it works sometimes.

and poor owner.

I have had baby snakes (and adults) not eat for many months (6 or more) in a row without these sorts of problems. Something else was wrong, your snake didn't die of starvation.

Before you get another snakes, I suggest you figure out why it did die, so you don't have a repeat situation.
