I have a quick question about my baby ball.......

DinoTheBall Nov 13, 2003 05:58 PM

Today it took a crap and the snake looks really dehydrated or something. It doesnt look like its usual self, at first I thought it was gettin ready to shed but im not sure. It looks alot skinnier and looks like its been starved for months but it eats 2 adult mice every week. And last night I even saw it sittin in its water dish slurping water. any opinions? thanks!

Take the crap and get a fecal examine at the vet. it might have a parasite(sp?) that is basically eating up your snakes food.

Yeah it looks like I'll have to bring him in, I just hope I dont have to spend a fortune on the bill or any medicine.
