    Here is the ARAV listing for herp vets in Arkansas. There is one in little rock....I suggest you make an appointment first thing monday.

    Dr Marilynn M. Baeyens
    14624 Colonell Glenn Dr
    Little Rock, AR 72210-2223

    Dr Jon M. Southerland
    Kiehl Ave Animal Clinic
    3911 E Kiehl
    Sherwood, AR 72120

    Watery feces is not normal in ball pythons. My very first ball python had watery feces the day that I bought it....it died three days later. Something like this is a serious matter. It may be intestinal parasites which can only be cured by medication administerd by a vet.

    I would look into the plastic tubs option for your snake. They don't take up too much room if you use the sweater box kind. There is a link on this site on how to make them. That may help with the space concern. Definitately seperate soon though. And good luck at the vets!

    I would suggest taking both. Since if one's got parasites, the other will likely have already picked them up. It may not be showing signs, but it's probably got em.

    I agree with the others, separate them. It's just better to house individually. Let us know how it goes at the vets! Good luck.

    I'd agree that since you're making a trip to the vet with the obviously sick one, I'd take both to be checked. Gather fecal samples if possible from both snakes, put them in seperate ziploc bags and then into the fridge until you head to the vet.

    Please do consider seperating them. Sterlite/Rubbermaids make great and very cost effective homes for ball pythons.

    Best of luck with both your snakes. Since Daniel has offered to rehome one or both of them, if you find yourself better suited with only one of them or none of them, you at least know a good home has been offered.
