I had a baby normal from petco so I could save it and it didn't look that bad but after I got and had it for 1-2 months I opened her mouth and it was yellow i took it to a vet spent 450$ just to take her up there and he said he didnt no what it was and she did that head thing and next day I came home from school and she was dead and I cryed
It might not be IBD. It could be a lot of things. Heat destress, poison from a mite treatment, or another less serious illness. Of course there are many other things that cause stargazing. I would take it to a vet that knows about snakes. If it is lost weight and or has mouth rot as well as stargazing then yeah IBD might be the cause. Well I hope this was helpful for some one out there.
what you all need is a basking balb heat pad hiding spots water dish and a lid make shure to get the clipons the next snake learn before you get a snake
looks to me the snake had no cool zone and warm zone. if they get overheated without being able to cool off, they can die of symptoms very similar to ibd.
Aww poor baby! Where is the rest of it's enclosure? I understand it died but you can't just leave it in aspen, they need shelter, water, humidity, etc. or else it will die for sure.
- something big enuf for her to get herself into and soak in water (i can tell just by looking at the tank that the humidity levels are nowhere close to where they should be.
This is why you do research before you buy a pet like this, its not fair to the snake...
@rrredzzz He probably moved all of that stuff to get a good shot with the camera. There looks like there's something stuck to the back of the cage in the top right corner, perhaps a liquid crystal thermometer? I can't really tell.
Hi my snake is doing something similar but still not as bad as that ... but hes doing the stargazing & spin ... mine is a spider ball ... so im not really sure if its cuz of the phase or ibd ... how much time does it take to show symtoms to die?

things wrong with this video
-no hide
-no humidity
-no visible dish thats big enuf for her to get herself fully inside of
- and most important, u want your heat light to sit on 1 side or the other, so they can have a hot spot, and a colder spot if it becomes to hot,
Sorry for your loss :S
