Help, urgent
I just checked on my new guy this morning and he's hardly moving, he's alive but it seems like barely, I tried feeding him last night for the first time since his regurge and he wouldn't eat. He seemed sluggish but not like this, I'm so upset I don't know what to do, please help!!! Any and all suggestions are welcome, I need help

No idea what's wrong with your critter Ditto. Any chance you can get him to a vet quickly? I hope he recovers.

Thank you. Sadly he passed shortly after I posted, my closest vet that would have seen him is about an hour away so I doubt we could have made it in time. I really don't know what happened, he's acted completely normally since I got him and he was only without food for about three weeks, which is a while since he's small and he was getting pretty skinny but he never looked skinny enough that I was concerned for his life.. I don't know, but I'm completely heartbroken. I can't believe I let something like this happen again, I think I need to take a big step back and not get any more reptiles for a long time, I just don't think I can do this again

I'm far from an expert, but I know regurges can kill a snake. But it could've been a lot of other things too.
I wouldn't be too hard on yourself; it very likely may not have been your fault. Hopefully you were quarantining, in case it was some disease.

Based on your other posts, you've had this snake for less than a month and you got it from a high-volume seller. Put the body in the refrigerator - NOT THE FREEZER - and get it to the vet for a necropsy ASAP to ensure it didn't have something contagious.

There was nothing you could have done at the point you found this morning, they are so good at hiding illness. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I also a agree if you have the time and funds, a necropsy will help put your mind at ease about what happened and ensure there's nothing that can pass to other animals.
Hang in there.

Sorry for your loss. I hope you don’t blame yourself.
The one thing I found that you can count on about Balls is that they are consistent about their inconsistentcy.
