IBD?? opinions needed plz help

[kojack8389]

Ok thank you everyone SO SO much. I will do some more research. I'm always learning new things about all this. Should I take him to a vet for a check up just to make sure?

[starmom]

I have had him since February and I think he's been doing that since I've gotten him..so that's what makes me curious. But his movements are REALLY exaggeratted. I've never really tried to 'snap' him out of it but he does to seem to be in a daze. And I don't have any other snakes to worry about so that is good He is my first and only so I can't fail him!!

You wont fail him. Did you get him from a breeder? He looks like an older snake; is this so?

[kojack8389]

Any opinions help a lot. I know you all are probably WAY more advanced with this type of stuff.

Yes I did get him from my boyfriend's friend who is a breeder. We don't really talk to him very much though...He was older when we got him but not by much I don't think. It was a birthday present for me so I don't think he knew to much about what to do

[starmom]

Maybe you could ask him if the snake was doing it when he had him. I'm assuming that he pipped the snake from one of his clutches...? Anyway, ask him- he will know.
Spiders do have a funny wobble thing that they do but WOW yours is extreme! Special snake, that one!!!

[kojack8389]

I'm hoping he is JUST 'special'! Not in danger. But yes, I will do that asap about asking the breeder. TY

[starmom]

I'm just going to throw in my opinion that I would not suggest breeding him to any female..... It's not right passing along those genes with wobble that severe. Understand though, this is only my opinion.

That is a Spider, and that is a wobble. More severe than some, but not as horrible as some can be.

It's alright.

Hi,

This reminds me of a snake lillyorchid took in called loopy.

the threads are to be found;

Here,

Here,

And here.

I know a lot of the pictures and video's no longer work but I did save one of the videos showing his looping behaviour.

The problem is it is a 4.4meg flv file - do you have anything that can play those or should I find you links (I use an older version of this ) or convert it into another format?

Other formats are likely to make it larger as I am not exactly a whizz with these things.

Let me know what you want to do.

**edit**

I should point out that while loopy definately has the wobbles he is not a spider.

has he been doing that since you have had him or is it a recent sort of thing?
