    Odd behavior
    I bought a bumblebee BP on feb 22nd from sam of red dog reps. When i got him home i put him in his cage and he started flipping his head back on to his body and just hold his head up. he has stopped flipping his head back but still holds his head up. also he is yawing all the time and bubbles will come out of his mouth. i contacted the breader about the head issue and he said it is normal and there is no issue b/c the snake was in healthy when i got it. he is still not eating as well. I have a felling this is not normal behavior but i might be wrong. I am new to BP but not snakes. i have had 2 16' berms, gaboon, cobras rhinos and so much more and i have never have this prob with any of them. plz help

    sounds to me like you have an RI on your hands with the mouth opening and bubbles, and a stress wobble because of the RI/relocation. since bees have spider in them, they are prone to wobbles. get him treated by a vet asap, what is your husbandry like?

    I honestly don't know if this is a troll attempt, or if we have an ESL communication thing going on.

    Assuming it's not a troll attempt, the snake needs to see a vet quickly since it's been sick and untreated for over a week... though I would think someone with experience keeping retics, rattlers, etc. would know that already.
