Thanks for answering!



He wouldn't eat this morning. He was lethargic. Five days ago, he was highly agitated, a sign which I associate with feces. I thought that he'd go then, but, nothing. I did notice distention near the tail five days ago - another reason that I thought that he'd go.



For how long shall I soak him?



I bought a fish thermometer a year ago, but, I thought that the water was way cold, going by what was on the thermometer. Going by what my wrist told me, well, my old vet said that that was too cold. So, what temperature's right - by numbers, or, by the wrist? I'll try it both ways. I no longer remember the numbers given to me. By the wrist, it was lukewarm, say, like I'd heat food for a human baby. Just taking some of the chill out. I usually let Kaa go in and out of the water on his own, afraid that if I make him stay in too long, he'll get a respiratory infection.



I found a herp vet in my area, new to me, and made an appt. for a week from today. I love this snake - he's the first and the last, the one and only. I don't want to lose him!



Thanks again.
