    Re: HELP! Baby ball python extremely skinny and corkscrewing!

    I would ask for a full refund and return the snake.
    He settles down pretty quickly after he's in the water and I literally sit there and stare at him for basically the whole duration of the bath, he's just so dehydrated I want to get fluids in him.

    I just texted the guy I bought the snake from asking for more specifics. I just remember he said he kept it on a heater while he was working and I thought it was a good thing until I found out overheating can cause corkscrewing pretty quickly. He's definitely a hobbyist breeder, and clearly doesn't know his stuff very well. We'll see about returning him. I'm kind of just holding out hope that he just needs a lot of TLC. I brought up a refund with the guy but he's kind of just a guy on Craigslist so I'm not sure if he'll even give me a refund. He seemed like a decent guy though, just ignorant apparently. We'll see.
