    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Lesser NOOOOOO!! Help?

So yesterday i picked up a lesser male that use to be around 500 grams.. Its my friends and he has given up all hope on him.. He was treated for an RI about a month and a half ago which i was told never fully went away. And To top it all off he hasnt eaten since last winter since he bred for the first time. He is now in the low 300 gram range. My 66 het clown looks way bigger than he does and last time i weighed her she was 396 grams..

He is really skinny.. I guess he got him to eat once but from assist feeding him.

So Basically He is a rescue cause my friend tried what he could to get him back to health but all attempts failed.. Oh and did i mention he still has an RI?

I talked to a vet and all i can do until friday is Up his temps and let him be. Friday is the day i will be taking him to the vet. My friends treat.


ANy suggestions on what i should do?

Oh and i will post pics in a few.. looking for my camera
 
Aww poor guy. Best you can do til friday is up his temps. When offering food I would just offer live small mice. He may eat that. GL

When a snake goes off feed for awhile, you wanna offer small meals to get him going again. Assist feeding every 2 weeks wouldn't hurt. When he is a decent size you can stop that and wait for him to eat on his own. If he doesn't after awhile, assist feed, wait again
 
These r phone pics(cant find my camera)\

Well the pics put on 10lbs remember.. LOL

And yeah compared to what he use to look like its a BIG difference.. His Backbone Sticks out ALOT
 
He doesn't look too bad, really. I doubt he'll eat until the RI is cleared up, but it doesn't hurt to try! At any rate, I wouldn't worry too much, yet. :)
 
We had a rescue pinstripe with an ri. We uped his temp like crazy and our vet gave us an injectable anti biotic. He survived amazingly. He also had super infected rat bites. We got him in jan and he was maybe 500 grams. Hes a 2009. He is now 860 grams! Youll get this little guy going again!
