Re: Need Help Now!!

Justin,

I agree with everyone else. Your snake has neurological problems... probably the result of a B1 deficiency. I don't want to freak you out, but you need to know what you're dealing with. Sometimes a B1 deficiency can be corrected with dietary B1 supplements, but in advanced cases they stop absorbing and processing B1 from the diet. Then the only way to help them is via a B1 injection from the vet. Based on that second video, you don't have long to make a decision. Death from a B1 deficiency isn't a pretty sight, but the prospect for a full recovery after a shot of B1 is very good. If you choose to go to the vet, take the video. If not, you should consider euthanasia to spare your pet a very agonizing death. Best wishes,

Rick
