Stiff Ball Python? HELP!

Hi All,

My friend has a problem(not me as most would assume). His albino male ball python escaped from it's cage a week ago, and it wandered off, he found it after 3 or 4 days of looking. He found it though, in the coldest room of him house, that stays at an average of about 65ish all night. He now has it, it is in shed by the way, but it is very stiff. Like it should be dead, but it is not? Please, any suggestions for help would be appreciated. Please do not mention going to the vet, he is already scheduled, and will be going within the week because of tight scheduling with the vet, but any tips, tricks, quick fixes for now are needed, wanted, and fully appreciated. Thank you.

I would say just leave him be for a few weeks.,keep him at propwr temps and let him warm himself up. After hes warmed up check for any ri symptoms.

Sounds like the snake is just cold... Put him back in his container and he should get back to normal... Just keep and eye out for RI since he was out in pretty cold temps

All right, I texted my friend to just keep him at normal temps and let him be for now. Hopefully he pulls through in time for the vet. Any more suggestions are a big help!
