In case you were thinking about force feeding, forget it. Your little northwestern wouldn't be able to handle that. He's way too small. The trauma and possible injury in such an effort would be more harmful than not eating. Personally, I feel that by the time a situation warrants force-feeding, it's time to think about euthanasia. I don't do force feeding except under certain rare circumstances.

There's still time nicole, try to be patient. your little one looks OK, body-mass wise. He's not too starved just yet. Snakes can go a long time without food.
