Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I sent a message a few days ago asking what people thought of this snake that came from a spider to a normal breeding and all 4 eggs hatched snakes that look like this.. 2.2 but the guy who breed them he kept 1 male.my male and female both died for no apperent reason..eating fine..temp was perfect?? So i have 1 female left doing great....but they all do the spider head wobble .turning their head upside down flailing around??

Any one have an idea..I get messages back from people they think she looks normal but I think different!!!
I emailed TSK and they suggested she might be a yellowbelly?
Thanx for your time everyone!!

From what little I can see of her belly - I don't think she looks like a YB - she's got some nice color - breed her out and prove us wrong.

Good luck!

I reincluded the link to the image you posted, KS gave me some type of error message................It is reminiscent of a YB, so what does the belly look like?........................Another great concern is that healthy BPs do not just up and die. it is possible to line up a deadly gene but it is rare and usually fatal at birth. reptile wise I have Only heard of it in albino western diamond backs..............I would be doing some serious investigating as to why they up and died. Isolate the animal from any other snakes you have and keep things ultra clean!!!!! Perfect handwashing is a must!! I do suggest washing even over the hand sanitizers, use a high quality soap if you must handle the animal at all...... Use a good virucide to clean the cage and anything it has come in contact with. OH AND FOLLOW THE DIRCETIONS ON THE BOTTLE!!!!!!!!! Most require pre-cleaning and then final disinfection. Bleach is a good one but stinks to high heaven and still requires a thorough cleaning of the cage elements..... ALL of this is a preventative measure. BUT well worth the effort...........god Bless, Lee
