I try to keep the humidity above 50.. Usually 55-60. I have to spray it down like once or twice a day. Hot side is like 85-86 and cool side is like 82. Ambient temp is like high 70s. But okay sounds good. Yeah i have a temp gun so I can make sure the water is good. This all started in the winter when I was having trouble keeping her humidty up because shes in a glass tank with screen top and I live in indiana. So she had a bad shed and stopped eating after that. But humidity has been fine since spring. But thanks for the advice man. Im hoping she doesn't need a vet either. Ill definitely do it if I have to but theres not very many good ones where im at.Originally Posted by Bogertophis
I think a "soak" (& swim, but only with your support in shallow water) is a good idea but keep in mind that what feels like mildly warm water to us (humans) will be too
hot for your snake. We're 98.6* so if it feels warm, the water is 100* or so...my point is, read the water temperature if you do this before stressing your snake further.
You want water to be about 86*. The glob in your photo appears to be some hard urates, & yes, they can cause a blockage or even a prolapse. A soak should help your
snake to get better hydrated (what humidity have you been keeping her at???) and the swimming motion can help her expel feces if she is backed up some. About 30
minutes should help, but you might have to repeat this daily, depending on the "outcome".Hoping you won't need a vet...but too soon to tell.
