I think my girl is sick?

kcaj Jan 14, 2006 06:59 AM

Hi all I have a female xmas mt gb who went off feed a couple of months ago and I figured it was just winter/ short day length syndrome like with my pyros. Well I went to pick her up today and she was listless and slugish and has very little muscle tone and is very lethargic.If I place her on her back she will right her head right away but will leave the rest of her body inverted for a minute or so, her movment seems labored. She does flick out her tongue at normal speed though.And on a final note, she hasn't lost any weight. Any help or suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks in advance Jack

This does not sound good, you may want to go see a vet in your area ASAP to try to save this snakes life. good Luck!
