not eating - calcium?

[drache]

who ever heard of giving a snake a shot? i won't do it.

I've given several snakes antibiotic injections, and it's kind of less stressful than forcing their mouth open to slide a tube down their throat
if you have to administer oral antibiotics, you should ask whether you can mix it in with some kind of carnivore care recovery formula and just tube feed him the food while you're at it

He is still not eating, in fact an hour ago I tried fresh trout from whole foods and he smelled it but would not indulge even though he acts hungry. The vet did recommend i provide more whole body meals for him (as a vegetarian i was getting into the shortcut of thawed fish over live alternating with live worms) to up his calcium over his phosphorus and increase sunlight.

some of my difficult eaters were won over by the frozen SF Bay Brand silversides from the petshop, and those are whole fish

Also, a different post but much debated, the vet said that handling Sugar and cleaning his space is Ok when pregnant...

that's good news
