    Re: Please Help, lawnmower injury

    I can't remember if you mentioned....had he pooped yet? If not, I would be quite concerned. The way he moves looks like he has serious spinal or nervous damage. As you say, if you let him go, he's dead.

    my guess is that the snake will be fine, but not for a while yet
    his roaming the cage could mean that he's looking for food though
    Like I said I'll be trying the fish thing tomorrow, hopefully he'll take one of them. He's pretty much constantly moving around.

    Looks like I'll be keeping him forever, then, as I'll not have his early death weigh on my conscious if I have anything to do with it. You can definitely see how his movements are awkward, right? I just want to make sure it's not me being paranoid.

    To answer your question, yes, he has pooped several times: at least three or four (which is weird because he hasn't eaten anything). I'll see how the guppy thing goes and if he doesn't eat any of them within the next week, I guess I'll have to start asking you guys about force feeding, something I'm not looking forward to.
