Sorry to hear that. Follow Heather's advice .. she sounds like she knows her stuff!

A number of thing pass through my head that it could be - anything from a temperature spike that fried her brain to parasites, to malnutrition could have caused what you have seen. Yes you need to be concerned but you need to take quick action to find out what it is before you panic.

Good luck! :gj:

Just got off the phone with the vet, they can't do it but they can sent it to Guelph for me and its $250. I've got $5 in the bank right now. Gotta borrow from mom and dad I guess...no bumblebee for me...

This is exactly why it is important to know who has had it in the past.

alan belcher and wyatt are both known but there are many who just hush it up and say nothing.

I hold Jen completely responsible for her problems BUT had she known about wyatt previously AND had proper quarantine proceedures in place, she would not have had the wipe out she did.

DO NOT FREEZE THE BODY.

Take it in or send it to the guy in Fla.

If you've got IBD, clear up some freezer space. It's the only responsible thing you can do.

What do I do with the body, fridge?

How long will you need to store it before you can have it sent out?

Can IBD really sit in wait that long? I was under the impression that it tends to kill pythons quickly, especially hatchlings. I mean, if he's had them since April and no other snakes have come in contact with them, could IBD really linger that long in hatchlings?

I'm so sorry about your girl though, here's hoping the necropsy comes back to you negative.

I can bring it in today.

Then either put it in the fridge or just leave it at room temps until you can leave.

Sooner is better.

Sorry you lost the snake, but I agree with Tosha, there are a few different reasons like she stated why snakes can start displaying neurological symptoms.

So definitely don't chalk it up automatically as IBD, and work yourself up that you'll have to euthanize your whole collection.

Wish for the best, keep your chin up Peter.
