Well, this is the first positive thread I've posted but I can finally say I have a healthy, happy snake! I got my first normal BP over a year ago. My boyfriend bought her for me, and we named her Lily. She died 18 days after from IBD. It really sucked; it had been a very long time since one of my pets had died, and we both really loved her even 18 days in. It was very quick; she showed symptoms one day, then died that night. We kept the house snake-free for 10 months or so, and finally picked up a new snake. This one was a normal as well, and was maybe 4-5 months old. He did well for about 2 weeks, but the night of my birthday he had a prolapse. We found out that he wasn't actually a healthy snake, he had a prolapse before and hadn't been on a normal eating schedule for a couple of months. We decided to return him (and also to get him immediate attention from a reptile vet). I had never given up a pet before, but we wouldn't have been able to keep up with a snake like that.
I found our third snake almost 4 months ago. Meet Draco
This last picture is special because he did something very bad after I took this picture. He hadn't pooped in a few weeks and he finally let it all out a couple days ago... on the couch, on the floor, and on my boyfriend. Thanks for reading
