Just wanted to drop a line with an update regarding this baby.

Adam provided some most usefull hints and I think we have her enclosure/environment nailed down correctly.

The morning after my last post we found what we thought was green pee and a small urate/solid waste combination. There was a LOT of it for such a small snake. So while cleaning the enlosure (she's on paper towel for substrate) we decided to weigh her and she was down to 39 grams from 43 when we last weighed her, so we made her a VET appointment with one of the HERP vets here in Indianapolis.

They did a fecal (came back clean). Her feces was "total diaharrea" according to the VET, which I guess, isn't very common with BP's. So they sent it out for a culture/sensivity test and have her on a course of 3 shots of Cefotaxime. One shot every 3 days. They also tube-fed her "snake formula".

The first 24 hours after the first injection she wasn't very active, but has since started to move around a bit and is very alert when we hold her while checking for feces or anything else in her enclosure.

I'd never heard of Cefotaxime until the vet gave it to me, but it's supposedly better than Baytril (the only one I've actually heard of) in snakes.

I spoke with the breeder we got her from and he says she shed and ate once before we bought her, and that's he's had no other sick snakes. He's very concerned and has offered to trade snakes with me or do whatever it takes to make it right. The vet has seen a higher-than-average number of sick hatchlings (all from a chain petstore) recently.

The current plan is:
Keep her warm
Injections on Sunday and Wednesday (very scary.. big needle, small snake)
Try to feed live prey on Thursday, if no luck, take her back to the Vet on Friday for another tube feed and to get results of culture test.

So my ever growing list of questions are:
Anyone ever have green runs in a BP?
How many times/how long can we tube feed her?
Has anyone ever used Cefotaxime on a hatchling?
