Re: Just @$#*&%!! great.

if you suspect this MAY be an issue, be sure to move the cage to a separate room and make sure any contact you make with your snake is minimal and that you wash the heck out of your hands afterward. Viruses have the potential to kill off an entire collection if not contained. Trust me, my old ball python is ill with I have no idea what, but it COULD be a virus so he is in strict quarantine. He is all twisty, he can't really crawl straght and he scruches his body up as he moves. He will be going straight and all the sudden throw his head around in a complete loop, and then keep going, his whole body continuing in the loop. I was told to hold him by the tail and dangle him towards the floor, if he can't raise his head that it's most likely a very serious virus. But he can lift his head, so i am not sure. Seeing as I had a miscarriage not too long ago, I can't afford all the testing required at the moment, and so I am hoping for the best. He actually seems to have improved since it started and has steadily been regaining motor control. I really hope things imrpove for you!!!

Re: Just @$#*&%!! great.
Thanks Shannon. She has fairly good motor control, actually, she just keeps twitching and jerking along the way! Like a really old car trying to make it up a hill.
I am being careful with her though, but I'm just not sure at this point, and I can't really afford the testing either.

Re: Just @$#*&%!! great.
I hope she recovers completely from whatever it is, Anji
it's scary, when you don't even know what it is they're sick from

Re: Just @$#*&%!! great.
She has been improving! She twitched less each day, and today she's back to poking her head out and coming up to the glass to see me when I'm next to the tank. I know it sounds weird but she actually looks perkier.
Can snakes get minor viruses that just affect them for a few days? Some kind of snakey-flu?
