Shanley, if you are considering force feeding your Sooty, Don't!!!

He is FINE, even if he is still refusing food. they can go a very long time without eating and as stated previously, force feeding is only done if a snake is on it's last limbs (dieing). As long as your nake continues to keep himself hydrated and the problem slowly heals, he is not in much danger.
