help on ball python... possibly near death

my baby ball python is not well... it hasn't eaten since i gotten it and that worries me... they pet owner i got it from said that it should be fed hydrolife cause he was dehydrated and that would help him... but since that he has been star gazing and his neck has just been falling completely over upsidedown... i don't know what to do... he doesn't seem to be breathing either so as i write this i think he is dying... i dunno... this is my second snake that has died on me and i don't know what i am doing wrong!!! please anyone help

Take it to the vet ASAP!This could be IBD,a disease that can be transmitted from boa to python,do you own any boas?

i had a rtb in this same tank before but i cleaned the tank we think that one before died cause of mites... but we are not sure... i cleaned the tank and everything that was in it... so thats possible but not likely...

Where did you get the BP from?

its a place called animal kingdom...in chicago we have been buying from there awhile... not snakes... but turtles fish and others....

Can you take it to the vet tomorrow morning?

Oh no...i have seen bps in pet stores here with IBD. Wasnt a pretty sight. If its IBD, i sure hope you dont have any other snakes near that python. Its highly contagious and a vet trip is essential.

i really don't think it will make it through the night

How long has it been stargazing,falling over,etc?

maybe a week.... but it just started getting really bad like 2 days ago
