Hi everyone!

Just thought you might like to know, Conan had his first feed almost 2 weeks ago, and after he poo'd on Saturday we weighed him, he has lost 30g in 15 days!

That is good news. Its strange reading this thread. So many threads are about people being really pleased that their snake is gaining weight. Makes a change to read it when its the other way round.

That's good news. Sounds like he's doing well
Okeetee Mick Posted - 03/09/2012 : 08:56:24

thats fantastic news, glad to hear his diet is going so well

I wouldn't worry about the shedding as long as it is a 'good one'. There appears to have been a spate of more than usually expected this year.

He's doing great, We are feeding him every 21 days at the moment. We can tell when it's close to time as he does become more active. Perhaps that's why she was feeding him 2 large a week!

He's shedding more often than is usual - possibly due to weight loss? He's just about to shed again, which will be his 3rd time in our care.
Auld Baldy Posted - 02/09/2012 : 17:28:52
that's great news. I hope he appreciates the effort you are putting in for him.

Hiya Everyone,

Thought I would update this, as Conan was weighed yesterday. 2 and a half months we have had him, and he has now lost 70g!
kdlang Posted - 03/07/2012 : 22:57:27
Fantastic news hun. I am inclined to agree with you on the saving his life thing. After seeing the size of him I don't think his body could have taken all that weight, + more on his old feeding regime, for much longer.

I think that's pretty impressive for 2 weeks! Well done :D An hour a night will soon have him looking lean lol!

Are you managing to get him to take to exercise with any enthusiasm?



He can't do the stairs that's for sure lol! But we have him out every night for an hour and he just loves exploring.

We know it will take a long while for him to get to where he is supposed to be, but I think we may just have saved his life :-D
