    Broken Leg?
    I think my female lep has a broken or sprained leg. It is her right rear leg. She just kinda drags it aroung on the top of the foot because it is twisted. I know it has been hurting her eating habits because I rarely put crickets in because she doesnt eat them, because she can't pounce on them anymore because only one rear leg "works". I watch to make sure the crickets arent biting her and they arent. She refuses her mealworms too, and she used to love those. I dont know if a vet could do anything or not. I dont want her to suffer. Could someone please help me and tell me if there is anything I can do? If there are anymore questions you need answered please ask.

    I'd at least get her to a vet either way to see if there's anything you can do...waiting will only make it worse.

    I already called the vet and am going to make an appointment soon. I'm not sure what they could do but I should at least find out.

    Well, I was getting ready to call the vet this morning when I went to check on her first. She was dead.https://ball-pythons.net/forums/images/icons/icon9.gif I know it was because of her broken leg and that she wasnt getting any food because she couldnt catch it. I feel so bad, like it is my fault and that I should have paid closer attention that way I would have noticed it earlier and made a vet appt back then. II gave her a proper burial in the forest in my back yard. I dug the hole down about 2 ft so hopefully nothing will get her. RIP Olivia:tombstone
