By the way, I had NO idea that "liquid paraffin" was the same as mineral oil- so thanks for sharing the education. I once had to give mineral oil to a totally blocked up bearded dragon that I took in (the owners were just going to dump him outside on his own to die) and it worked like a charm for him as well- he expelled all the undigestible wood shavings & large cricket legs that had been blocking him up, & he got back to eating & growing again- it was just so amazing to see such a recovery- especially when I feared he was a lost cause- he was so sick & miserable- straining to defecate with nothing coming out, & a very distended mid-body, but skinny legs from lack of nutrition for so long. Again, congrats on your success with this snake. I'm sure he feels SO much better now.
