    Is she a sick snake?

    Hi everyone.

    I picked up this adult female BP at a show 1.5 month ago.

    After she got her, She drink a lot of water. And 5 days later, I feed her a med F/T rat. She took it right away. And then 2 days later she went into shed. I change her under a paper tower. And it took a a long time to shed and she can't really shed. I have to put her into water for hours to shed at the end.

    Also she had a bad diarrhea.

    After that, I feed her 2 small rats. I thought the med one maybe too big for her.

    Again, 2 weeks later, she had bad diarrhea. And she went into shed again. That is twice with in a month.

    She is 1300 gram.

    I am getting worried. now.

    Any help will be appreciated. I will go to a vet to check her poo soon.

    Thanks

    I would check with your vet. Usually shedding that often is a sign of something wrong.

    sound like a vet trip to me too. You likely should also get a fecal done as well.

    Thanks guys. I will do that.

    Shall I wait until she shed or just go while she is in the shed?
