Help - Is this Burmese OK?

[Zincubus]

Snake is dying!!

Last night I tried to bath him as suggested and noticed he was almost paralysed. He was also throwing his head back is if he was a toy snake. After an hour or so I then noticed his skin was coming of so called the breeder back and gave him what for on the telephone.

He then disclosed that his brothers and sisters went the same way and all died! One drowned herself, an other tried to eat herself!?

Anyway, I drove her the 2 hours back to his house and he gave me my money back and took the snake away. I asked about a Vet but he said it was pointless as he tried with several of his other snakes and they all died. I was fuming as he should have told me this

I have messaged this morning to see if he made it through the night

Back on the search for another Burm..

I would buy your next one off one of our members in here , someone you can trust . I'm sure that if you started a new thread to that effect you will get some good , reliable suggestions of people in your area. .

Make sure you fully sanitize your enclosure and all of your equipment before bringing a new snake home, what that snake had was serious and you do not want to risk exposing an incoming animal to it.

Yup bleach or F10 everything. I wont throw disease scare names around but especially if the other ones in the clutch died thats serious......
Not sure where your located but the PA show is this next coming weekend.

Sorry to hear you lost the snake - that's got to be tough. He was a looker for sure.

Sounds like you SHOULD (need to, obligated to) tell everyone what his name is as to avoid future issues with a "breeder" that is so reckless.

This, especially since there is an excellent chance of Burmese pythons becoming legal to ship interstate again in the next few months, the price is going to go way up and people will end up paying stupid prices for these sick snakes.
Go make a Fauna BOI post (read the rules first!) as well as posts in the Facebook reptile feedback forums about this breeder so there's less chance of another buyer getting ripped off.

Appears as though we saw this coming....
