Snake went missing now will not eat?

As some of you no my snake went missing 3 weeks ago. It has returned but now its a very angry snake and will not eat anything. I'm not sure what i should do

I had the same problem....my baby spotted python went missing for 6 weeks....I took it to the vet and he said it had a absess under its mouth...thats why it wouldnt eat...after that was fixed I was told to coat a pinky in oil and force it down its mouth...next time I fed it...it took it straight away no problems.

My snake is still a bit snappy but hopefully it will settle back down.

Cheers

before you attempt any form of force feeding, leave the snake alone for a few weeks, no handling or anything. Make sure the temps are right. Then try feeding again. If the snake has been missing for a while, a vet visit couldn't hurt.
