I cant believe the suggestions in this thread as a cure for a stressed snake.Compounding the issue even worse by human interaction is hardly "Gonna Fix" the problem.
If you cant get it to a Vet,put it in a cage under proper conditions and DONT MESS With it !!
Nice and dark and human free is a far better remedy/cure then some anal human with a book full of "assumptive cures" on a mission to "FIX IT"!!

M/
Nothing worse then piss-poor advise !



>>Hey everyone I need some help on what to do. I just recieved a boa this morning that I had bought last week, and he doesn't look too well. His head will move side to side a little bit, almost like it is quivering. Also when he looks up his head will kind of flop over before he catches hisself. I'm afraid of what it might be,IBD. I called the person I bought him from but there was no answer, just an answering machine. Maybe they will get back to me later. I can't believe they sent a snake out like that. Any ideas?
