strange behavior

joecop Oct 27, 2008 12:51 PM

I have a milk snake that has had a few bad sheds recently. She just had a bad shed last week and after assisting her with the shed she fed on a couple of pinkies. She appeared a little sluggish and now will sometimes sit motionless and take two big breaths and go limp for a minute or so. After doing this she seems fine for five minutes and then does it again. I am thinking she has a U.R.I. maybe due to humidity issues that caused the bad sheds to begin with. Any suggestions?

Regardless of any opinions offered here a vet visit is in order for this animal!

Yeah, I have to find a reptile vet in my area. I brought her upstairs to higher temps and lower humidity to see if it helps in the meantime. (She still has her water bowl obviously)
