Heres some pictures of her just now as she is sitting up more and better, and you can see the front foot.

Shes kept in snake room at 81F right now.


She's a beautiful little girl. With her losing motor functions, it does look like a stroke. Does she have more difficulty using one side more than the other? I know she was flopping around, but does she switch sides or is it constantly one side that is limp?

If it is a stroke, she will never make a good breeder. She will probably not make it through it this time and they almost always stroke out again, and breeding only increases these odds. If she lives, I suggest making her into a cage mate for other pregnant females, etc. Breeding her would likely cause her demise.

Honestly, imo, no matter what, she is not good breeding stock and I would possibly consider the new bloodline one you don't want to incorporate into your lines. Unless you know the bloodlines and this is a new health concern.
