Diarrhea...?

jrmiah Aug 30, 2004 09:15 AM

Question, one of my females has always ate and pooped normally, this last week she has had Diarrhea twice, I know that internal problems can be a cause of runny stool but she has never had this problem, nor has been exposed to any other snakes or enclosures but her own, any ideas?? thanks in advance

I'm sure your temps are correct, so it probably has a protazoal/bacterial infection (from dirty water or food source). If it continues to have this problem, a dose of Flagyl will 98% of the time clear it up. I also use Nutribac on animals that have diarrhea, and sometimes that is all that is needed.

Keep the water clean, and did you change food sources (supplier) in the last month or so?
