    A sad day for my black king :(

    I have a juvie black king female and i found out my little girl has a spinal deformaty, this makes it hard for her to deficate. My vet said she has a 10-20% chance of living her anus is clogged from her problem, but she eats fine. Im hoping she pulls through.

    Any suggestions to help her out???

    Thanks guys

    Im no expert so do not take my word on this... Just advice.... Ive seen videos where people have given their snake a bath and massage the lower area to help it release/stimulate them to deficate.

    Or just ask the vet u dealt with and see what he/she says

    If she can't pass any stool I would hault feeding her: it will just block her up even more so.

    What did your vet say that you could do to help her? Just wait and see if she dies or not?

    Basically yeah thats about it, it was a free vet visit so i think he really didnt care to much. He told me to just turn up the heat in her tank to 90-95°F. So i did and i fed her yesterday and she tool it with no problem but she regurgitated it this morning, she looks so miserable and theres nothing i can do. The breeder i bought her from said he would gladly trade her out for a different snake tho and im highly considering it, i dont want to watch her suffer any more.

    I would trade her back to the breeder, many Veterinarians do not know much about snakes, unless the specialize in the exotic field. The breeder may be able to save her and give her back, trade you a healthy snake, or possibly offer a refund depending on their health guarantee and how long ago you purchased her.
