Quick Question?

My yearling escaped end of may, after many failed attempts at luring him out I finally found him yesterday curled up in one of my daughters board games (god knows how he got in there!)

I immediately fed him 2 large fuzzies as I thought he must be starving and have now put him home again.

Now im starting to wonder.......my questions are:

1) Is he going to be ok after going 3 months with no food/water, any longlasting health problems?

2) was I too hasty in feeding him 2 large fuzzies straight away, ie: would his stomache have shrank and im now heading for a regurge?

3) will his growth be affected by him going so long without feeding or will he still grow as normal now hes on regular feeds again?

Im sorry if these seem like silly questions but obviously im so grateful to even have him back so want to make sure i do the very best for him now.

p.s I have secured his enclosure to stop any further escape attempts!

Any comments truely appreciated :)
 
Two large fuzzys might not have been a good idea,but there again he did eat them. up your temps a bit to help him digest and leave him alone to get on with it (you'll have to keep your eye on him from a distance...) As for 3 months without food? it's not unheard of and they are natural hunters, he might of fed. he probably found water as well. the chances are he didn't spend the last 3 months where you found him.

nice find
wish I could find snakes>>LOL
