Re: Rescued!
to anyone reading this....is the wobbly head something to be concerned about? I'm interested in finding a good resource for warning signs of a sick snake, any suggestions?

Re: Rescued!
I would keep it far away from your other snakes and practice strict quarantine.
So ... what do you mean by wobbly head? There are some large concerns for wobble heads, but to what degree is the wobbling?

It's kind of hard to describe, and we've only briefly monitored him so far. When he raises his head/neck off of the ground it sort of sways side to side. It looks like he is too weak to have the type body control that a healthy snake has. I'm not saying that he is weak, because he held onto my arm quite well while moving him. I'll try to observe more about him after I get home tonight and get an updated post up.

Well its when he lifts his head and stretches out a bit...almost as if he doesn't have the energy to keep it stiff. Direction changes from up and down to side to side to kind of a circular motion. His tongue is still flicking but it is at a slower speed than our other BP.

And I am so happy for you!!!
I am very happy too!
I have noticed my other BP Slyder doing it, but it is very rare. The thing that worries me, but I haven't seen myself yet, is that my friend said he was holding his mouth open for a bit. I'm going to be keeping a close eye on him for this also.
