    Just a little update. She has pooped and on empty has gained 5g (now weighs 44g). She's still not eating on her own but the wobbling has decreased. Normal movements and only wobbles if I disturb her or as she's finishing swallowing a meal (slight shake and she's done). She used to flip over backwards when she ate because she couldn't balance herself. Today, she ate (assist fed) and didn't fall over. So, she is making small improvements. I'm soaking her every 2-3 days to make sure she is staying hydrated.

    None of the other snakes are exhibiting any symptoms of illness.

    I'm curious. What temps did you incubate at? If all the hatchlings from the clutch have neurological issues, I would suspect some sort of incubation issue.

    I incubated between 86-89. During the last week of incubation (I'd have to go back and find out what day they were up to when the hurricane hit) we lost power to the incubator and they dropped in temp down to around 75 for roughly 5 days. The other clutch that had about 2-3 weeks to go (both were in the same incubator at the same time) suffered no neurological problems.

    The pinstripe, who now has a name, Juju, is doing well. She still wobbles a little but overall she is improving. She is up to 50g empty at this point but is showing little interest in food. I still have to assist feed her every 5 days but during her last meal, she actually curled around it a little like she was attempting to constrict it, so that is progress. I'm going to try and see if she will take a live mouse fuzzy/hopper on her own this week. We will see how she does. I'll take some updated pictures/video of her soon.
