I'm glad you found him! Since he was missing for so long, an exam with your veterinarian or an experienced herp vet would be strongly recommended to diagnose and treat any illness or injury. In the meantime, give him a good soak in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte. This will warm him up and provide hydration. Once he's warm and hydrated, he will be more likely to accept prey.

Consider bumping him up to a juvenile rat (or small adult) once a week. An exam with an experienced herp veterinarian would also be recommended to diagnose illness or injury. Frequently, either may result in behavioral changes or sudden aggression.

I suggest you call a reptile vet in your area and find out what options you have for assistance. They may be able to help you. I found this one in your area: http://eagle-vet.com/exotics/ This is a link to an article regarding organizations to help people with pet medical bills. I know it says "dog" but it is for all pets. http://www.dogheirs.com/resources-affordable-veterinary-care/ I am sure you will be able to find some assistance if you do some legwork. Hope this helps. Best wishes.
