I'm seriously thinking of dipping his slugs in penicillin powder and taking my chances.
Actually, I'm a little worried because the area right above his vent(about 2cm long ) is looking rather wrinkly and 'deflated'. I haven't been squeezing him there, so I don't know what that's all about.
And the damned snake won't go anywhere near the damp hide I've made him........so much for moisture and warmth. How do you convince a snake to go where you want him to???
