central nerve problem

[boafa]

I have had it for 11 days

Is there any posibility, that the breeder is responsible for this?

I would've already been on the phone with the breeder tradin' that model in on a new one. If he is any kind of a decent person he should trade you out with a healthy snake.........

boafa,
oviesly, the breeder thinks it's my fault and she didn't say for the switch.
beside, this little phyton get very close to my heart. he's not like a thing but he's my live animal, I have already ''feelings'' for it

if he has paramyxovirus or something there is no help. if there is ''only'' encephalitis it's posible to get well.

I feed him with force today, it was on one time so sad and so happy...
he really wanted to eat but his neck was not ''working''.
when we passed the neck, the pyton push the mice all alone.

please, pray for my little one, I don't sleep and not even eat normally for almost 3 weeks...

That is sooo sad!

Just some wild guesses....Is it possible that maybe he injured himself from falling from the logs? I don't see any hides, did you just take them out to film the poor guy? Is this something that could be brought on by stress for not having any hides?

I hope that you figure out what is wrong with him and it's curable. If not, I hope you do the right thing.

I understand....but what options do ya have. Let's see, let the poor snake live it's natural born life in this condition and hope for a miracle , or euthanize snake now and put it out of it's misery, or take snake to vet and spend thousands tryin' to find out what's wrong, only to have the snake possibly die anyway, or talk to the person you got the snake from and have them replace it. i know you have become emotionally attached to it, and your in an unfortunate situation but think of the snake.....no since in emotionally and financially bankrupting yourself over a fifty dollar snake.

if it were me i would be gettin' in touch with the breeder or the person you got him from and try to get another snake, or my money back. If they didn't work with me, I'd euthanize it, and instead of buying a snake from some home breeder who won't stand behind their animals, I'd find a reputable breeder and buy another. Not to sound callus but you've only ad him a couple of weeks, not like it's been a family pet for years...........

Whatever you decide, I wish you well, hope you can keep your costs to a minimum and your snake recovers 100%.

Might help to take the matter to www.faunaclassifieds.com and put up a thread about your situation. Someone else can explain.

You have clearly done everything you could for this animal I would be very unhappy with the breeder for ignoring you.

She had a good reputation? Maybe that should change. If she is not willing to help at all, I would also question whether she is telling the truth about the health of all her animals.
