I suggest having the snake seen by an experienced reptile vet. There are numerous possibilities for problems, including internal parasites. A vet check sure wouldn't hurt. If you don't have a reptile vet, check the members section of the ARAV website (below). Good luck!

:I have a one year old russian rat that is a voracious eater...usually. I feed him once a week, occasionally twice, but I know he would take more if allowed. About 2 months ago he turned his nose up at his meal and skipped a week...no big deal, these things happen. He ate the next week but has now skipped 3 weeks. I put him in a paper back with a thawed mouse last night and when I checked on him today I can see he had swallowed the back half of the mouse and then regurged him. So whats up? Should I brumate him? I usually don't sweat missed meals so much but seven weeks with just one small mouse worries me. Advice??
