Can you diagnose my BP

Gosh! I hope he will be ok. Please let us know what the vet says.

Yes good luck! Please tell us what the vet finds!

Looks neurological to me. Unfortunately I dont have any advice to offer. I truly have no idea what's goin on.
Almost looks like a spider BP with a severe wobble issue . Hope all goes well with the vet and you figure out what's wrong .

any update

Hey everyone!
Thanks for all of your help through this. I went to see Dr. Greek this morning, and of course Monty (my bp) acted completely normal aside from some quick movements and major curiosity. I explained the behavior to Dr. Greek and he recommended that we start with an oral antibiotic (baytril) to see if it helps. After physical inspection, everyone said he looked very healthy on the outside. He checked Monty for mites and didn't find a thing and noted that he could possible have suffered a trauma, thus the reason for his constant agitation.

After the vet I had to run over to pet-smart to buy a heat-pad, thermometer and water bowl. Just before I went inside, I took Monty out of his travel cage and held him for a bit. He was calm for a couple minutes and then something agitated him and he quickly spasmed and went underneath the seat of my car and crawled up into a super tight ball. I could not get him out from under there for the life of me over the next hour. He finally loosened up and I was able to pull him out.

He is now safely exploring his clean cage. I'm hoping he relaxes tonight and doesn't make a huge mess! I figure the best thing I can do now is try to make him feel comfortable, give him his daily medication and weight it out. I will try to post a new (happy) video of him soon. Thanks again for all your help everyone!

PS: where is the best place to stick a temp prob for a reading and at what temperature should it read night & day?
Thanks!

Maybe you could email the vid to the vet?
And it makes me uneasy that he prescribed an antibiotic....The vet didn't even see what was going on with the snake. Are you sure the vet is knowledgeable?
I feel like the vet just randomly prescribed it.

That video is really hard to watch. Looks like some sort of neurological problem.

I agree, that vet sounds a little sketchy to me. Antibiotics are harsh chemicals to prescribe without even finding an infection. I'm not a vet but still...

ARGH, I hate when they hole up and you know where they are but you can't get them out! And you're already worried about him. Well, I'm glad he's acting a little more normal, and at least looks generally healthy to the vet.

Hi,

As Generationshell asked is there no way you can show that video to the vet?

There are parasites etc that can cause movement and nerological symptoms but I don't have any idea oif baytril would be effective against any of them even if we knew that was the cause.

i can try to send it to him on Monday. I kind of took his word for it since he was so highly recommended. Hmm, he seems to be doing a little better right now. He hasn't spasmed since this morning, just is very active. I'll see how the weekend goes and then go from there.
