My burm wont eat for the last 3 months. She had a respiratory infection and the vet gave me shots to clear it up and it did. Now, every so often, like a minute, she twitches her head slightly. She still wont eat and i dont know whats wrong? I can notice her skin becoming like loose on her body and im worried really bad that shes starving.
When she twitches her head its a very slight jerk. Like in a split second its like less than one centimeter. She seems to be moving around right and her conditions are ok, not the best, but their ok like her temp is good and humidity is ok. Anyone?

Questions, how long is the snake and how old? How much was it eating before it got sick? Is the vet known to be a good vet for snakes? How did the snake get sick the first time? Was it possibly from a cooling period? Your post had some descriptive info but some of us may be able to help if we know just a little more. But my first recommendation is get a second opinion from another vet. Tom
