How's little Lola getting on? I'd love to see an updated pic of her if you have one!

just to let everyone know, fudge died on thursday evening. he had a kidney problem which prevented him from taking the nutrients from the pinky that he needed. if you turned him over, the dark spot where his kidney is was green. if you see that on your snakes then get it checked. thanks for all your advice.

You tried everything. Unfortunately some hatchlings are born with defects that no matter how hard you try they cant be overcome. I'm sure even with not eating that it didn't suffer.

oh how sad- what a shame.
at least you know what the problem was, so could spot same or similar if you get another titchy in the future, I suppose.
I had a hatchie last year that regurged repeatedly, never pooed and then died- he had a huge dark patch under his tummy behind his vent that was hard. I didn't get a professional opinion but common sense/logic said he had trouble passing the small amount of food that he did manage to keep down.

Sadly I think congenital problems with digestion are not uncommon, but are almost impossible to predict.

so sorry for your loss

and you thought there was no such thing as a stupid question....

I think lots of snakes get that patch when they die though?

Sorry for your loss.



A very special super, duper thanks for K :3

So sorry to hear it guys We all know you did the very best you could for him, to be honest I'm amazed he lasted this long as I gather he was still only a hatchling?
On the plus side, I got your email with the pics of Lola, she's looking fantastic! She's still stunningly gorgeous!

RIP Fudge :(

I've had the same thing here, got snakes that have been perfect feeders from reputable breeders then had them refuse for a very long time. The green patch is due to the gall bladder leaking after a snake dies (not the cause), its a common thing to see.
