whats wrong with my snake??

maber Feb 06, 2005 03:37 PM

I am having similar problems with my snake that the person who posted the "Dying snake?" message is. My ball is about 11 months old and he does not seem to want to eat. i have tried feeding him twice and he just wont eat it. Recently he has been acting very strange.... moving about in strange ways and then when i picked him up he seemed relatively limp and not moving. This is my first snake, so i am not sure what to do about this.
his name is Snickers and hes really cute.... help!!!

If it were just a lack of feeding i would simply suggest the MANY ways there are to intice a reluctant ball to eat. But since you say he has no muscle tone when being handled, you should take him to a herp vet, immediately.
