Unfortunately, I was thinking the same thing.

His last shed measured 19 in. and he weighs 21g. I've been under the impression that he's a younger snake and I feel like he may have grown a bit since I received him, but that's speculation.

What might I expect a vet to do for him? I'm not doubting at all that a visit is the best idea, I just have no previous experience with reptiles and haven't come across much of anything about actually treating this problem. I like to walk in with at least an idea of what can be done, if treatment is an option. Medication? Injections? Either way, I will see how much my vet knows about snakes, and if they don't I know of at least one more in town that I've seen on recommended herp vet lists.

Thank you for the prompt responses. I'll be sure to keep you updated on what happens.

edit: d_virginiana, you posted at the same time I was writing this response! I've been using plain tap water. It's treated and not from a well, but I haven't put anything extra in it, like those reptile water treatment drops. (I did some research on that earlier on, and was under the impression it was okay not to use them.)
