Wow your female is a healthy looking girl. Very nice. The picture of my boa makes him look a healthy weight but he's not. I've tried ever trick to get him to feed with no success. Yesterday I called lots of vets to see if they would tube feed my snake they all said no!!! I have never done this to a snake but I tried my best. I think I did it kind of right since he's still alive. The only tube I had looked way to big but it slid down his throat without any resistance I lubed it with strawberry motion lotion. LOL. Does it matter if the tube is large if it goes down easy? How deep should I be putting the tube in on a tiny snake like this? I hope I didn't go to far in, but if I did he would be dead by now, right? The food I gave him was Gerber beef and gravy at 1/2 cc. He seems to look much better today his underside is not sunk in. It's a relief to know he has got some food in his belly. So how long should I wait before feeding him again? Of course I will try live pinkies and then tube again if necessary. You know what's cool?... my other sand boa over eats she's young and ate 10 pinkies in three days. She doesn't care if they are dead or alive she's going to eat them. She's getting big fast. Sorry for all the question I love this little guy and need all the help I can get. You guys are great for helping me out.
