Help! Wobbly Snake

Thanks for the help! If it gets any worse I will beg, borrow or steal money to get him to the vet but right now it doesn't seem like they will be any help. I appreciate your kind responses! If anyone else has a new suggestion I am all ears.

I don't know if your snake got cold enough for this to apply, but it definitely can be a symptom of having gotten to cold, and when it does happen, it can take a long time to get back to normal. This is from the Barker's article "Will They Come in out of the Cold."

Quote:

When warmed to temperatures where activity is possible, snakes suffering CSS will not be able to move in a coordinated manner. They may exhibit what appear to be violent seizures if disturbed or handled. Snakes with this condition may die within 48 hours of being warmed; if they survive past that period of time, they likely will recover, but full recovery to normal coordinated movement can take more than a year.

There is more information in the article. That particular quote came from the second page.

It is a little too late, but I would not have fed your snake a big meal so soon after this stressful experience, especially when you began seeing the wobbling. Since he was only lose for 6 days, there was no need to rush to feed him at all. I probably would have waited a week before I even attempted to feed him at all, and then given a small meal.

Thank you so much kc261. This sounds like the cause and it is good to know that if he makes it through the next 24 hours he will recover...however slowly that will be. He seems stronger besides the wobbles and spins. I am so grateful for the info!

Good Luck, I hope he pulls through for you...

u said he is a morph but not a spider, but what kind of morph is it??

The pet store said he is a Pastel Ghost.

Not a pastel ghost, just a very nice pastel :)

How is the little guy doing today?

I suspected he may not be ghost. He does have spots on him that look ghost which is interesting... his sister was a ghost but not pastel...

He seems a little stronger but his motor control is about the same. He reminds me of Stevie Wonder at times. If it is CSS then he has made it through the first 48 hours after warming and has a good prognosis. Looks like his food has digested well. His color is fairly good, a little dull but he is due for a shed. I soaked him in Pedialite last night for about 10 minutes. I think he was dehydrated as well because he went straight for his water when I found him, before he had hardly been warmed and drank several more times throughout the day.

I guess we will just take it one day at a time. I have a video...

Defiantly neurological problem. IBD would be way more intense head movements and wouldnt of ate either.

Either he got very cold, poison,or overheated from wrapping something too warm. He may never return to normal, but may still live a long life.
