well, i took my red-tail to the vet this past Saturday and my worries were confirmed, he's dying. I figured something was wrong because in the two months i had him he never shed or defecated.. at all! I noticed he was also really weak. The vet says he has some incurable viral infection.. i wasn't really paying attention i was too upset. So, i'm gonna make sure his last few days are happy ones. Poor little guy, He's just a baby..
Also, JUST NOW! literally, just now.. I was looking at my bp crawling around his cage in the dark and i hear this weird squeal noise kinda like a hamster or a guinea pig would make if startled and i see my bp like, almost convulsing. I rush over and turn on the light just in time to see him poo.. but it wasn't healthy stool. It was basically explosive diarrhea, no kidding, it rocketed out of him. Now, i've never seen my snakes do the "do" i've only had the pleasure of cleaning up the end result but you don't have to be a genius to know something's wrong with that situation..
What do you guys think?
Ooh, but some good news i'm pretty sure i got rid of all my mites. (i had a terrible mite infestation not too long ago. My bp's looked disgusting. But now they're scales are shiny and their eyes are sparkling and they look healthy.)
