how long has anyone had to force/assist feed a snake?Ive been force feeding now for 10 mths though we are making progress diesel now can take a bigger pinkie and he does wiggle it down to his belly fine know,he is still small though sheds every 2-3 weeks. its just that as he is getting bigger n stronger we do end up in a bit of a tangle.

have you tried putting it in his mouth and letting him swallow it totally on his own - aura has just started to swallow pinkies on her own now although i have to put it there for her, just got to get her to open her mouth up on her own now!

the longest I've had to go like that is around 11 months. She's eating on her own and growing mega fast now that she doesn't need any help :)
