They are GREAT starter snakes.

But...they do require proper care, knowledge, and attention. They have specific needs (that are very easy to meet once set correctly) and generally low maintenance pets.

That being said, you shouldn't own one illegally in any circumstance. This snake may have been sick a week ago when you got it, it may not. It may have been induced by the stress of moving. Have you contacted the breeder? Regardless, sick or not, stressed or not, you really honestly shouldn't have it.

You're in Queens, right? I live with my parents there on the weekends but my snakes are in our Long Island home. Past exit 32 on the LIE is past Queens County, and there are a NUMBER of vets past that. It's a 10-15 minute drive depending on where you are.

So start searching--there's a vet list right here on this forum.

AL contact the breeder maybe he knows what to do AL take pics i have AL requirements

You knowingly decided to purchase an animal that is illegal where you live, not thinking ahead, all animals will at a point or another in their life require veterinary care and snakes are no different.

Now YOU need to take responsibility for YOUR own actions and do what is best for your animal, this means taking your animal to a vet so it can be treated, and if this means your pet will have to be surrendered later on and a fine is issued, then be it.

Sometimes you have to learn the hard way, and hopefully this will make you think twice before doing something illegal again.

That being said, we don't want to chase away someone that genuinely needs help. Please refer to our caresheet for your snake's immediate needs. And then take everyone's advice and find it a home where it can be properly and legally cared for.
