Hey i lost phoenix a few weeks back and just found him this morning =) he was in my printer, hardest few hours of my life trying to get him out =( So now that he is out and in his viv how long should i wait to feed him? I read that you shouldn't feed snakes if they are dehydrated but he doesn't look dehydrated but i'm not sure =S when he was missing i left water dishes in every room but i cant be certain he actually used any of them =S please help =) |

A pinch test on his neck is the easiest way to check for dehydration, you gentle pinch the skin and then let go, if it stands up then its dehydrated, it should return back to its normal position within about a second in a hydrated snake. A week is a good idea, to allow it to thoroughly warm up and get its stomach working properly as snakes stomachs shut down if they aren't being used. |

if he's dehydrated the skin under his neck will be sort of puckered- can't remember where I read that.....
i bet he's been having sneaky nighttime drinks the whole time tho
glad you found him BEFORE you printed something!!!  |

pleased you found him, the printer of all places, thank goodness you didn't use it!! advice as above really, treat him like new, allow him time to settle in without feeding or disturbing too much, hope he settles back in quick for you |

P.s how did he get out? Have you coreected the problem.
Glad you found him x
