    I agree, 100x50x50 should be enough. I know of people who successfully keep them in smaller enclosures than this. But as Stefan says, "the bigger, the better".

    Your rule of thumb is a minimun length to be at least equal to the snakes length.

    As I said last Wednesday...the time has come to force-feed. Try reading through this thread, Seppe.

    You can gently pry the mouth open with a finger nail or similar. I think the risk is now worth it, or surely the last one will be dead very soon indeed.

    Did you get some food into him? All you can do now is disturb him as little as possible (to minimize stress) and hope he pulls through. Keep us informed, Seppe. Good luck.
