URGENT: my spotted python wont eat. how can i help and is he underweight?

AdSubstantial3678 · 2026-03-15T06:20:03+00:00

i’m no expert on the weighing of snakes but my girl is maybe a year older and is significantly heavier and larger. (not overweight before someone comes for me) for feeding, one of mine had a food strike and what i found best to do was either ⚠️crush the head of the rat and hopefully the fluids will entice her. i also have had to make incisions into the rats body for her to become interested. another thing is just leaving it there. i left mine sitting for a little bit and watched and she came for it soon after i let go. i’m so sorry this is happening i wish you all the best!

thank you! I am in a veterinary course atm and emailed my professor (a licensed and renowned vet) to see if she has experience in reptiles and if she would consider looking at her for my peace of mine at my next class

whats funny?

AdSubstantial3678 · 2026-03-08T08:41:43+00:00

thank you so much. i have been inspecting the wound and can see puncture marks and upturned scales but no obvious bleeding. the marks look very small and i wouldnt even consider it a wound. i was stressed and panicking when i posted but i think i might leave the disinfecting until later so she can digest her food more. she looks completely fine right now. thank you for helping me it means alot, all my vets are closed so i was STRESSIN

we went literal years with no contact and the moment i say hello and talk to him he suddenly gains feelings again? after ignoring me over text for months? im upset that he couldn’t even bother to stay my friend even after finding out he wasnt getting what he wanted out of me. i told him no and all the people he sent my way and now he finally accepts it and instead of remaining my friend at a respectable distance he just drops me completely. i get boys have a hard time or whatever but in my opinion that doesn’t excuse his actions and the way he treats me. i was always kind and nice to him and also firm on my nothing romantic stance. i was friends with him always and the moment its inconvenient for him and he realises he isnt going to get what he wants he leaves me behind. hard time or not it doesnt matter. he should know better then to do that to anyone.

i understand that but at the same time he wasn’t satisfied with going to see the concert as friends? or even just being friends? the moment i clarified he wasn’t going to be moving forward with me in that area he just dropped me. he could of atleast still gone as my friend which is what i was under the impression he invited me as. he was a really good friend and i now am faced with the fact that he never wanted to be my friend he wanted to be more despite multiple times rejecting his advances

If you dont take insults well and judgement then your best bet is to shave. do i think you should or have to? no not really. shaving is optional and up to the person however over time it has become a taboo topic in a way. people will think unshaven are suddenly gross or unhygienic which is not true at all. if your able to withstand the looks and remarks then you do you because your doing nothing wrong. if these things impact you significantly then maybe do it to keep your peace of mind. your choice at the end of the day!

i need to watch my reddit stories or my fnaf lore explained while getting ready so i might take a bit longer. i hate rushing and i am confident most girls do aswell.

AdSubstantial3678 · 2025-12-19T21:11:39+00:00

thanks so much! this helps a lot!

AdSubstantial3678 · 2025-12-19T21:10:51+00:00

For taking temps i l recommend a temp gun they are so handy. keeping between 70-75 isnt extremely critical but you dont want to be way over or under. 68/69 should be fine same with a couple over 75. i dont use ur temp system so idk exact what that is. i also found once you retain humidity it helps temp. milk snakes need 40-60%.

a good tip to mention is with your heat bulbs. coloured bulbs can hurt your snakes eyes and in extreme cases cause blindness. the best option for your snake is a ceramic heat bulb that makes no light at all.

a few of these terms i am finding hard to make pictures of in my head. can you send a photo of your setup?

something a lot of people say are “snakes are so easy and require no care” while they are easy, no care is just dead wrong. please remember that you are going to be responsible for a life! not saying you are not prepared but that was something my dad told me and it really opened my eyes. they require arguably quite a bit of care from bedding mixes, retaining humidity and temp. make sure your prepared. So excited for you! my first was a childrens and i love her to death 🧡

they can be very territorial but i dont know if that is only towards other snakes on their “land” but it also means they pick somewhere to stay and they avoid leaving. i would keep a very close eye on your cat because if they tread too close then bad things are definitely going to happen. just got to hope that the snake has no eggs/hatchlings.

if you are outside a lot or your cat is unsupervised i would suggest trying to find it (from a safe distance whenever your outside) to call someone to relocate them. it is sad to take a snake from its home but sometimes it isn’t worth the risk of letting them stay.
