My snake had something stuck in his butt.

I'm just glad you got it figured out!

Not just BPs either...

I let him sit in the females tub for 5 minutes since I didn't want him locking and when I got him out he was a COMPLETELY different snake. No thrashing, just calmly smelling and looking around. Something tells me the behavior he was showing is going to show in some of the human males after a few weeks of quarantine haha.

That's very interesting...

There are no pictures, and what I call a vague description of someone who appears to have limited experience yet you ask people to diagnose your animal online, that is just not gonna happen, you need to see a vet.

Yes times are different and things make it a little more complicated than usual but it can/need to happen, I had to take one if my dogs to a vet last week and things were different, curbside pickup of my dog and the vet talk to me on the phone while I was in my car but vets still see animals and it is still the responsibility of an owner to provide their animals proper care.

Keep in mind that in some state while not providing proper food, shelter etc falls under animal cruelty but some states take is a step further and withdrawing withdrawing necessary veterinary care also falls under animal cruelty.

So some food for the thoughts, not only withdrawing care can be illegal but it is also not the right thing to do.

@Stuart_Reptiles, from what I heard, they weren't keeping the animal from the proper care. I know that things can be more difficult with all that's going on. But being rude isn't helping the situation. Being kind and helpful is all that we can do right now. Please just try not to be rude. I get that it wasn't too detailed, but sometimes it's hard to describe what's going on.

Just to clarify - Deb wasn't trying to be rude - just honest.

I'm glad you seem to have found a solution - the only one I could think of was popping it and trying a water spray - which you thankfully didn't need to do.

I know many use aspen with apparent safety, but I don't, & never have liked it for snakes.

What are you using instead of aspen?? I'm using aspen now but always up to try something different.

@Gocntry, I've heard that a roughly 50/50 mix of eco-earth and Forest Floor work very well.
