 Burmese help!!!

Hi all,

This is my first post.

I need help with my 9 foot male burmese python, he has stopped being as active and is quite lifeless. He doesn’t flick his tongue properly (just the tip with forks together). He lets me check out his mouth area where i carn’t seem to see any problems. His temperatures are a range from 75f to 95f in a 15 x 6 x 3 foot viv. and the humidity is arond 45%. He hasn’t eaten for around 6 weeks, can anybody PLEASE HELP!!!

I’ve been to the vets, he is no expert with reptiles, but i called a specialist for some help and passed the information on to the vet. He gave him some anti-biotics and fluids.

He told me that he is very sick and there is not much more they could do.

Don’t know if it’s wishful thinking but he seemed a "little" better so I’ve started giving him water by holding his mouth open and pouring (about 100ml each day).

Any help would be much appreciated.
