    snake is really lethargic.

    Well, the temp is about 85f(via temp gun), the weight is 71grams, it went up 5 grams since I got the snake.

    I have a heat lamp on the snake until my ranco arrives, then it will be put in a bin with heat tape.

    The snake always looks out of it, but it flickers it tongue.

    I put it head in its water bowl last night, it started drinking, the snake was so out of it that it left its head under water, I had to remove its head from the water bowl, then about 10min later it was looking for the water again, so I put its head back near the water, and it started drinking(with it mouth open).

    Then about 10min later it crawled under its hide log.

    This morning I picked it up, and it would not crawl like my other two,

    I would wraps its tail around my hand and move its head, but would not crawl anywhere(unlike my other two).

    I've looked to see if it may have RI, nothing is comming out of its nose/mouth, I made sure the tongue was forking, I checked for any sound coming out of it while breathing (no sounds at all.)

    It just seems very very slugish unlike the other two.


    Could it be too much light?

    I'de like to avoid a herp vet, some of them want about $120, just to look at the snake.
