Urgent help needed! Carpet python acting very strange...

Bad news. I came home during my break and she was much worse. Her head was rolling over and she couldn't control herself. When I picked her up she went limp in my hands. She was suffering bad. We all felt the best thing was to have her put down. :tears:

I'm so sorry...! :(

For the sake of any other snakes you may have I would get a necropsy and tissue samples done. Symptoms and the quickness of onset do point towards a serious illness.
I am so sorry you lost her.

You know it! This is scary stuff! We have close to 40 snakes in our collection that we have worked very hard to acquire and care for over the years. My wife especially has grown very attached to some of them. We are certainly not going to take this lightly. No word back from the vet yet since its the weekend. This by far the worst illness we've dealt with and it really makes us feel dirty, ya know?

I understand. I would be freaking out myself! Seeing illness crop up with no explanation is always troublesome. I hope you can figure out what happened.

Guess I forgot to post the results. Overheating was the culprit. I've since tested my extra thermostat that I used on her and it is shot. She was such a wonderful snake. :(

Sorry for your loss:(
