Help, Anorexic Baby ball python. Have been helping this guy for months he's extremely emaciated. In wondering how much longer he really has. I have force feed this guy 3 weeks in a row and still don't give a damn about food. Is there a scale for snakes to know when its too bad. This isn't him hibernating either heat and humidity is good. And had to put the on coconut fiber. And he's been to a vet just not a snake vet and they won't do injections.
HELP ASAP ball python

From the 2nd pic there seems to be a lump/blockage (probably urates) that could be causing the problem.
A vet that doesn't specialise in reptiles is pretty much useless. Seek out a reptile vet.
I can't... I work at a namebrand petstore that is stupid. I can atleast yell at them to take it to a diff vet and check records for last stool. Thanks we have 2 babies that just won't he and this ones the worst

Recalling my cousins reptiles. Months of force feeding and wasting away then it dies. A few years later, same thing. Found a reptile vet. 15 minute surgery. The next day it was biting at his hand it was so hungry.
