  • i have had this happen before. it sounds like your snake is having minor sasures . u should take him to the vets and ask how hi his calcium level is . if it is 2 hi it can cause him to have ceasures. if u dont get immidiate help he may have seviere or fatal head trama

  • you know what.... that makes the most sence out of any of the other possibility's Ive come up with.. im gonna look into it... thanks allot. appreciate the help

  • I havent heard of head ticking but I would take a stool sample to the vet and have them analyze it for parasites. Your female sorong is gorgeous. I am actually looking for a adult female sorong and tom doesnt have anymore but eventually I ll find one. I would keep the two gtps very far apart because if either of them has a parasite or disease it can travel in the air especially with the high humidity.

  • the thing is he has had it ever sence he was born. its come and go randomly for 4 years now. after the first 6 months of keeping him. in isolation i introduced him to the rest of my collection with no ishues.. im realy starting to think it might be nerological.

  • I mean you have him next to your brand new sorong, even though there is glass there you opened the door and if either of them has germs or diseases it can spread. I have heard good things about Tom crutchfield but remember he goes through a lot of reptiles and every breeder will eventually have a sick snake and maybe not even know it.

  • your right dude... i know your right.. ill move her later..

see all
