    Your snake will be alright with the Vet visit.

    You only have 2 options. Take her and get her treated. Or not.

    Option 1. Take her and get her treated. LOW risk of the stress of this causing her fatal harm. Very low. Just transport her safely.

    Option 2. Don't take her. HIGH risk of RI turning chronic and ever worse, eventually killing the snake and making her life miserable in the meantime.

    So really, what choice do you have ?
    I understand anxiety, and it helps to break things down logically and BREATHE !!

    You and your snake will be ok !!!

    Just keep coming to this forum to discuss fears, to get info and advice and just to talk things out...that is what a forum is there for. For support.



    edited to say: Once you have her on meds, do not stop them unless discussed with the Vet. For a snake species that is as sedentary as a Ball Python its actually a better sign for them to be calm/lazy/seemingly lethargic rather then cruising around.
