Posted - 14/01/2012 : 23:50:37 Noisy, my lavender has always been a finicky feeder and as a result is very slender although I would say he is still the correct body shape. However over the last few months he has started to lose weight. I am working through the different tips on getting snakes to eat but I was wondering what is a safe % of body weight to lose before I need to see a vet or think about assist feeding. His highest weight was 224g in October after his last 3 consecutive feeds. I think he has eaten once since then. He now weighs 202g and seems to have refused his feed again tonight. He is about 3.5ft long.
