Thanks for the heads up. The local Petco has both small corn and kingsnakes for sale. Though I am sure the corns will be cheaper. I will try offering him a snake this weekend after he gets a chance to relax for a couple of days after the Panacur treatments. Anyone have any experience force feeding snakes. I have 2 feet of 1/8 inch tubing that fits perfectly into the end of a 60 mL cathater tip syrenge. Just put tube down throat and pump blended chicken breast plus vitamin powder into the stomach? I want to avoid this sort of thing at all cost. Anyone with any experience doing this sort of thing, I want your advice.
