You might want to try a dose of Flagyl at 50mg per kg of body weight, then repeat in 10-14 days. It could easily have some microbial pathogens in the intestinal tract.



But if you do this, DO NOT feed it again for at least a good week or so AFTER the last treatment, as this kills both bad AND good flora within the gut. So the snake needs sufficient time to get it's stomach back in balance with replenishing the acids, enzymes, and electrolytes after the medication. Also, some "Nutri-Bac" can help with replenishing the microorganisms needed for proper digestion after the medication too.



If this is a bit beyond your capability, or you don't have any of the medication anyway, I would take it to a good reptile vet so he/she can do a culture on the animal to find out exactly what's going on. I would really recommend this route anyway to people to be honest.



good luck with things!
