    Re: Red Tail almost Seizuring

    I can only tell you the same thing.. take her to a reptile vet. That's definitely not normal.

    Is she able to right herself if placed on her back? If not, it could be something neurological. I'm not sure I'd handle her anymore until you can get her to a vet though anyway.

    Re: Red Tail almost Seizuring

    I wasn't able to see the video, but I'm not sure I want to. That would scare the heck out of me. I freak if I think anything is wrong with our snakes (like last night w/ the teeth).

    I think you should get her to a vet ASAP - like today if you can find anyone. With the holidays coming, it will be harder to catch a good herp vet open next week.

    If it's something you can bring on by straightening her out, please don't do that until you have a vet in the room to watch. You may even want to avoid handling or feeding her until then.

    Good luck! She is in our thoughts. Keep us posted.

    Re: Red Tail almost Seizuring

    I would rema in calm and get the snake to the vet. Going into a conniption yourself is no good and could lead to a car accident!
    I would want to get bloodwork done and see if the has been poisoned by some sort of toxin.
