Re: Eastern Garter snake drowned and braught back to life ...intense story inside
I'm glad to hear your little one made it, but like Rick (Cazador) was saying, it's more likely there's something else wrong here. I noticed you said this is one you feed fish too.....what kind of fish? A lot of what happened to her sounds like some of the affects of possible thiaminase problems. Sounds very similar to what my T.s.parietalis went through towards the end.....would just kind of turn upside down and turn limp, loose a lot of muscular control, gaping, that sort of stuff. Sometimes she'd be fine then too, but eventually it was too much for her. If you are feeding her fish pieces, I would definitely supplement it and make sure it's not a fish that has thiaminase in it's tissues....if it's whole fish, make sure you're not using goldfish or any other fish that may contain thiaminase. The problem may have been slowed down during brumation, when she really wasn't doing much, but now out of her brumation, it may really be affecting her. I wish you the best with her and hope the above helps out some.
