I think my burmese just died in its hands

[_Venom_]

Has the activity of the snake changed at all through this? How is his behavior?

Its exactly the same as before. No awkward"IBD" movements, no nothing. I swear, I promise.

Well that is a good sign... This has to be the single oddest occurance as far as seeming dead and coming back to life I have heard of in any herp... You got real lucky man...

Side Story A little off topic but kind of applies. I did have a Female Veiled Chameleon who was in her egg laying bin all day one day digging a deep nest for her eggs, when I came to discover that the heat wave that day had caused the sand to dry and collapse as she was burying her eggs. All I saw when I looked in was a motionless tail sticking out of the dirt, No hole. I pulled her out... and she flopped motionless into my hand. She layed like that for about 5-10 seconds as I tried to wipe the sand off of her, I thought she was dead for sure... Well when I took a deep breathe and blew on her as hard as I could to get the sand off of her face, too my suprise she quickly came too in a Panic and gripped my hand and looked at me like "What the Hell just happened!?!?" I have no idea how long she was unconcious for, but that was the only time I had seen any herp go from unconcious to concious. Needless to say..I changed my pants, gave her a shower, and called my vet. To this day she is happy and thriving, and all 46 eggs are happily incubating.

Yes.

In the current pictures, it's in shed. As stated in the first post.
Or did I?

Yeah, I've had a couple scorpions play dead. But this is a first.

On another side note.
This happened to me as well, but with a weanling ASF.

It was laying there, and it appeared to be dead. I picked it up and it was motionless and didn't look to be breathing. I attempted to put it in front of my boa who just ate so it wouldn't be wasted, but he went uninterested.
To my surprise as I was about to go back to the cage it started to breath and open its eyes.

Lets just say, I was very confused after it was 'dead' for 10 minutes.

I smell a troll. Sorry dude I dont know how you expect us to believe your snake busted a jesus act. Now your gonna have people think he's the son of the snake god and start your own snake church in an attempt to make millions give you money for a false religion. I've seen people try this tons of times.

He did post pictures with the 'he's alive' thing.
Which, I donno, is pretty good evidence.

I wish I believed that this snake would see a vet in the near future....
