He barely reacts if I handle him and usually I leave him be. So if I used to handle him he just wants to flee and this is not the case now.

He also keeps his head a bit sideways, which is normally not the case.



Does it seems like he has a congestion/ does he has a bult or something like that?

I can't say that I know the behaviour, but would still do my first advice to see a vet if you have the possibility...

Re: help please!

You should visit a vet as early as possible.
Iīm quiet sure that your snake is ill.
I donīt want to guess what it is because that wonīt help, but is serious!

Re: help please!

It's possible, I've not had a dehydrated snake before that I know off. Does he has a water bowl at his enclosure all the time? If he has, it would be very strange if it's dehydration If it's dehydration, I would suspect that he would get better quite soon if he drinks that much. Of course, make sure that he has easy access to water, but I think you've probably that covered.

Re: help please!

dehydration of an adult snake would take some weeks untill the effects are as serious as written.

Re: help please!

I would recommend that you visit a specialist vet as soon as possible. The situation does not sound good. What type of fish have you been feeding him?
