    Re: my ball python dont het her tongue out

    Hi,

    Have you checked her mouth for any signs of an RI or physical damage?

    The mucus from an RI can sometimes stick the tines together but I'm not sure if it could actually gum it up so much it never came out.

    When did you get her?

    That's the first thing I thought about. That's a sign of dehydration. I would get to the vet asap

    probably still a good idea to take her to a vet, its a sign of a healthy snake if it flicks its tongue actively, if not it could be bad.

    If her gums and tongue are pink, most likely she is fine but none of us are Vets.

    So take a trip to one

    sounds just like mine. let me guess tongue only come out half way if lucky. sounds just dehydrated to me.(could be something else but would take running tests to find them out.)

    soak her for an hour or 2 a day for awhile. water should be luke warm not hot or cold
