I think yoir swabs will come back to show a bacterial infection of some sort. Throat rot. It happens and is treatable. Hopefully not an injury.

^^ Thats what I was thinking also.

I’m curious as to what the vet said the thinking was behind the pro-biotics in the water? (pro-biotics are typically to improve gut flora after tremendous stress, administration of antibiotics, etc. to aid with digestion issues) Clearly not a digestion issue but you can hurt him with pro-biotics.

Sorry...that should have been...you CAN'T hurt him with pro-biotics.

(Little keys, big sausage fingers, auto-correct, etc.)

I would say dont feed him tonight...!

A snake that size would be just fine without food for months so you are not going to hurt him at all by missing a meal or two. Since you dont yet know what is going on; you could cause him harm having him do what he does to put a rat away. Also if he does have an infection you are better off (vet speciality visit pending) letting him conserve his energy and sit still.
