good and bad news
GOOD NEWS
 -My thamnophis sirtalis that I was previously force feeding is now taking food that I barly put in his mouth.I know that it's still force feeding but it's a less tramatizing experience for the snake thats being fed because now it dosn't try to spit it out.BAD NEWS  -My other thamnophs sirtalis died.but I kind of expected it to because it had a deformed mouth

Re: good and bad news
Sorry one died, but it sounds like you're making really good progress with the other one. It's only a small step now from 'assist feeding' to the snake feeding for itself. Good luck.

Re: good and bad news
Sorry for the loss and congratulations on the others feeding. I feed my babies two ro three times per week...depends on how much they eat.
