New Snake Not happy :( need advice

I would definately contact seller ASAP. Bubbling = RI = vet. Not sure about other issue. Like others said, document EVERYTHING. Good luck.

While I agree that the animal needs to see a Vet, the down side is that once you take her to the Vet, it kind of becomes your problem. I have a hard time believing any seller that would ship a snake in that condition will be quick to help with the Vet bills.

Of course, the circumstances around this whole snake seem a little sketchy, so this may be your problem already. Fingers crossed that the seller will let you ship the snake back.

It almost looks like one of her hemipenes is inverted IDK what does it look like to you...

Doubt you'll find any hemipenes on a girl. Just sayin.

Other than that...Very sorry to see this. I also agree...Looks like she dropped eggs recently. That would possibly explain 1700-1200 gram weight discrepency. I would contact the seller ASAP to at least bring the issues to light. Waiting too long will not help your case.

Good luck.

Thing is its not sure from a reputable seller which should have been a red flag... i really hope this snake is not dumped on me she seems like a money pit...

Immediately contact the seller.
And I agree she looks like she just dropped a small clutch. Hey pick her up and see if she has the empty just laid look to the last third of her body.
Ill try and grab a picture of one of my girls that laid just a few days ago incase you don't understand what that look is. It's the totally deflated empty nothing in the bottom third look.
Either way document every single thing. Everything. Things smell like fish on this one.
Hope everything works out.

I maybe wrong in saying this, but I would try to fix the problem before possibly shipping her back if that is an option. She may not make the trip back to the seller. If you cure her and all is well and still wanna send her back I would have the seller pay for the vet fees. But, I would also let the seller know that these are your intensions before you go ahead and treat the problem. Although if you are able to cure her you probably would wanna keep her and have the seller pay the expenses just because that's the right thing for him/her to do... Just a thought.

Thanks home grown.. very shady phone turned off no email response not looking good on my end. If anything i hope she just droped eggs would maybe explain the first pic? I did not see any puss just small amounts of blood :( do infections like that cause infertertility? Im so bumbed im out of town this weekend. If i dont get a response by monday im taking her to the vet and hes going on the boi i know hes selling some otger snakes and people should be worned

Add another to "she looks like she just laid eggs" camp. In fact, that was my first reaction to the picture before I read any responses.

Contact the seller immediately and tell him that the snake needs to be returned asap and that a refund should be issued. Also, I would tell the seller that they need to schedule a vet visit for this snake the day it gets back.

Definitely do that, so that others don't have to deal with someone who thinks it's okay to ship a snake out like that. Frankly, he should be ashamed of himself.

Hopefully, he decides to turn the phone back on and answer your emails, and take care of this.

Did you research him beforehand and nothing bad showed up?

How did you pay?
