my snake doing some weird stuff b-4 it died :(

we took him or her to the vet and said he or she had mites. (the nskae was to young to see if it was a girl or boy) we the vrt gave it a shot and gave me some stuff for the cage. well i cleaned the cage eachday b-4 it died just like what the vet told me too. i took the snake to the vet and he said it was from the mites and the mites prolly came from the mice. so no more comments saying what i did wrong and how you think he died he died from mites and this is my only snake that has died from it i still have 2 more that i have had for 1 year and they are find im sure it was the pet store i got it from. the spca has looked at it and has found some probs with it.

[marexmare]

i still dont know i can only go on what ppl have said its not like i took the dead body to the vet and ask them what it died from just make sure u have a good vet

[ArikTheAdirondack]

Did the vet test for IBD or an RI? It sort of looks like it might have had one of those. Sorry to hear about that. We have 7 snakes and I'de hate to lose any 1 of them.

[marexmare]

it died from mites bad vet didnt do much to help it so be careful what vet u choose

[Anderson0457]

Respiratory infection. obvious.

it does look as if this snake has a respitory infection, however that shot they give snakes for mites is NOT safe! It can kill snakes. I'm not saying you did anything wrong at all, you did what your trusted vet told you to do, but some vets don't know as much as they should about reptiles (I'm a vet tech), and that shot has often been leathal. There are better treatments availible, I'd find a better herp vet if I were you. It wasn't your fault at all though. You did what they told you to do.

Certainnly IBD or RI... hope you didn't re-use the enclosure

[silentkilla420]

Ive heard of snakes doing this after owners put pest strips in their cages it usually lasts a couple days then the snake dies.it also looks like a respiratory infection snakes with respiratory infections often open their mouth and appear to be "yawning" usually accompanied with bubbling liquid from the mouth in its advanced stages.

[kkevydub]

Your snake had a disease called IBD..common killer of the suck ass breeders we buy our snakes from..

[rammgirl30]

If you're vet told you that it got mites from the mice then they don't deserve to work with reptiles. Mites on mammals aren't the same ones that live on snakes. It's sad to see something like this when it can be treatable and preventable. Better luck on your next snake and hopefully your next vet (preferably a herpetologist).

i had a ball python that was a hatchling or some thing that would be acting fine then iit would put its head upside down while its body was normal and after a while it died we got a new one though and the old was sticking its tongue out ur anything not moving
