My snake was dead. Like, dead-dead. Floppy, kind of cold, no reaction to touch. This went on for about 15 minutes; I tried to prepare myself for the loss of my best friend. But I decided to try two more things (and please don't get mad at me again; I was desperate) figured I had little to lose. I gently breathed into his mouth while massaging his body (ugh this sounds like a romance novel) and he started to twitch and tense up a bit from his limp condition. Started to sort of moved his head. Then I carefully used a blow dryer on low heat all over his body. He eventually started to move a bit and his body began constricting my hand again while flicking his tongue, so I put him in his enclosure. However, from the beginning of this debacle he has "seizures" if he's touched from the middle. Hard to explain but his whole body twists and flops. He's now climbing his tank wall which he never does; he almost always is in a hide.

Two issues: his respiratory infection mayve didn't clear up and I took my (old) vet's advice and put a few drops of tea tree oil in his humidity spray bottle to "naturally disinfect. Eye roll. He's going to the herp vet emergency room in an hour.

But im serious when I say he was LITERALLY DEAD AND I WAS WONDERING WHERE TO BURY HIM BEFORE HE ROSE LIKE JESUS. Is this why they live so long? So they can outlive you and eventually control our galaxy?
