Well the seller doesn't sound all bad....just a novice it seems.Originally Posted by supremenoser
So I see the new posts about the injuries to his sides. I'll do the betadine if he lives through the night but I don't think his chances are good. He seems to be having seizures now, he coils up into a tight corkscrew like all his muscles are contracting without him doing it. Also I don't know what's causing it but suddenly his belly is all contracted up into him making him into a U shape, like he's a long bowl. I doubt he'll even eat tonight but I'll try anyways.
I got a hold of the breeder and he apologized and is going to give me a refund. He admitted to knowing the snake wasn't doing very well and said he shouldn't have sold him. I wish he would've told me that in the first place.But i guess all I can do now is try to keep him alive though I'm not very optimistic.
In the case this snake doesn't make it does anybody know what the best solution to clean and sanitize everything is? And is there an amount of time I should wait to make sure any germs have died before getting another snake? I don't know if I'm going to get another one if he doesn't make it, but I figure it's good to ask.
From what you describe it sounds like a neuro issues caused by overheating. I have seen it in snake before and it looked just as you described. I doubt the snake makes it much longer and honestly I would not try to feed it and cause any more stress to its fragile state.
Looking for a positive being it seems to be from overheating you don't have to worry as much about things left behind. I would clean everything with bleach and water as that is my main go to.
