Just not hungry?

[EKS56]

It's good that you are observing this situation calmly.

No other way to take it. If he doesn't eat and dies I will be more than disappointed but if I have done all I can do then I've done all I can do.
Is it such a thing as force feeding a snake and if it is at what point should it be done?

[Invisible Snake]

That's got to be why he hasn't eaten, try to get the warm side up around 85*-90*. With temps in the 70's he was probably getting ready to brumate.

You will get varying opinions on that question.
I say no, as there must be a reason for the not eating. Food might cause more problems.
Just my thoughts.

[EKS56]

I tend to agree.
I would have to think he was ready to die before I would try that.

I knew a guy who ran a reptile specialty store, but would take in sick snakes and try to help get them eating. Usually young ball pythons or corns that were being sold for like 5 bucks (you get what you pay for...) and likely had congenital issues. He said he'd tried force feeding when it got to the point that the snake was about to die, and he's personally never seen one survive after it got to that point.

Keep doing what you are doing. You are giving the snake the best chance it has.

[EKS56]

He's still not eating. I have seen him drink water twice but no food. For the last two weeks I have tried feeding him twice a day with no luck. The temp in the room is close to 80*. We have tried it all with no luck. The female has had no problem eating from the start. It's been two months. He acts fine but he won't eat.

Refresh my memory.

Fecal float done?

[d_virginiana]

Don't they usually need actual poo and not just urates for that? Apparently he's not producing anything but urates right now. But no, no fecal float has been done.

[guidofatherof5]

I do believe the parasites will be in the urates as well.
