hello
I am new to the forum. I joined because my adult male snow corn has always wheezed/sneezed since I bought him last fall. it never used to worry me until he stopped eating. I managed to get him to eat about 2 or 3 weeks ago. but it was a struggle. his health is otherwise good. he is super active and has great muscle tone, clear eyes, no mucus around mouth or nostrils.
When we got him he was happily eating 2 adult mice every sunday. no I cant get him to eat one. |

hi there
some con snakes do go for long periods of time to eat just because they want to or can, but monitor his weight,
in regards to the wheezed/sneezing, although there may not be any mucus this could be a sign of respiratory infection or some other form of infection
have him checked out by your vet, because infections do put animals of their food |

Sorry but no. Corns dont not eat because they can. they are opportunistic feeders, so will eat when they can.
I can go a few days without eating, but i wont, even if i wanted to i wouldnt.
the second bit is closer to the truth.
My advice, turn your stat up to about 30, and keep an eye open. the heat will help clear anything of an RI, failing that, a trip to the vet for some antibiotics.
Just dont go for injectable baytril, its not good for reps. |
