Can you try the reptaboost?

[xXxHeavenxXx]

Hi again! we did locate the reptaboost.. I have not used it yet since he was still eating. The green spots we saw went away so I guess it was not what I thought. I am thinking at this point something else is wrong. He has not pooped in weeks now. Not really sure why since he did eat and he does not throw up everything. So where is the rest of it going? I cant figure out how/why hes not going to the bathroom. Unless hes going so tiny that we've been mistaking them as cricket parts we have not seen a thing. Any thoughts? Should we give him the reptaboost? I hate to pry his mouth open when hes eating for me..but if it will give him something that the crickets aren't and help him go to the bathroom then I will. I just didnt want to stress him out. He has been off the baytril now for a few days..I still see that hes not shedding properly..and the last few days we went to feed him hes been shedding so he didn't want to eat. Its kind of weird..he does a lot of the swallowing type movement and arching his back with his eyes shut..but he doesnt try to move the skin or open his mouth wide to get it in. When we see this we get a bath ready for him. I just cant figure it out at this point. Would some other problem cause him to not go to the bathroom? I cant imagine that its impaction since I have always fed him in a small separate tank with no bark, dirt or substrate just bare.

Have you tried nightcrawlers? You could cut them into smaller pieces. Since they are soft bodied and very moist it might help move things along, I know it does in my Garter snakes.

Also if he's eating well and feeds from tongs or fingers get a syringe & needle from your Vet, inject the meds into the feeder bug and just feed the bug. I did this with my 3 WTF and it worked out great.

I know how frustrating it can be and I almost gave up, but I'm so glad I didn't.
