thanx evryone , im better at panicing than saving a snakes life but i did it , thank god .
and yes cazador , your right... shes also been out well over a week or two , i use a couple days to slowly warm her up . and shes been eating well and evrything .
i dont think it would be any diseases or anything seriously internaly wrong . she seems ok but never judge a book by its cover .
im starting ot think she has a small upper resperatory infection . i cant tell if its still water in her lungs he keeps coughin from still or if shes a little sick, i usualy keep a very good eye on my snakes luckily she was literaly 3 feet away from me in my bedroom while i was on the computer, i was actualy on here about to post more new pictures of her and her mate. i turned all my music off and gave it a minute or two to listen and she gives it a little cough here n there. i get this problem from time to time but never had a snake drop from it . in the winter its real cold at night and nice n warm in the daytime still around here, im simply gonna give her a heat pad at night , and do the same i do with any other of my snakes that appeared to be getting sick in the past years . i will also throw a warmer bulb , probly an amber bulb , or a infrared red heat bulb , these work awesome with snakes with small colds, u just have to get to em b4 it gets worst , ive never had any problems this bad in the past . i wil keep you all updated, as of now she appears healthy and is now as we speak enjoying her little hammock of trees n vines in her tank ( lot of the easterns i catch over here in PA hang in trees?odd).
once again time will tell if anything wrong with her, i have a vet that specialized in reptiles literaly 2 streets over from me . so perhaps ill take a stroll and bring her on over just to see if the doc can take a quick look incase theres anything noticably wrong with her .
i dont normaly name my snakes but i think this girl deserves a name after all shes been through . any suggestions?
