I can't find info on this by googling. I suspect my dumeril's boa Vigil has been mildly poisoned. I brought her into the yard for some pics maybe 5-6 days ago and didn't realize my family had someone come treat the whole yard with pesticide almost 2 weeks ago. But it's a type of pesticide that's supposed to last a couple months after drying, similar to PAM, but obviously much stronger since it kills spiders and ants too and lasts so long.
I just saw her randomly twitching/flinching her body a bit every 15 seconds or so, a couple days ago, and didn't know why. She stopped twitching after that day, so I only saw her twitching for a little while. She's now in shed.
I only just found out about the pesticide treatment and put two and two together that it's probably from poisoning, after reading that someone experienced the twitching too after using a strong mite treatment directly on their snake- in which their snake died within 24 hours. It has been a few days, so I think Vigil's poisoning is much more mild.
So I assume this would be similar to if someone had some PAM get in contact with their snake, which is probably the most similar situation to the snake community.... Does anyone have experience with removing poisoning/PAM from a snake?
