My name is Jake, Im from northeastern Oklahoma. I recenty rescued and a baby
Western Orange Striped Ribbon, his name is (LEO). I came to the forumn for advice and to talk to people with simular interests in snakes.
Unfortunately I am having feeding problems with Leo, along with what seems like a small bump maybe even spinal damage no more then an inch from his head. Everything on up seems to work properly, but seems to have issues moving along sometimes, the tail end is responsive to touch and he can move it but it seems the midsection is having issues with movement. he also thrashes his tail around if you put it in water and sometimes just rolls over belly up in water and chills there and goes back into his cave? I can tell there is damage to the area explained I just cant tell the severity of it or if it is something that can heal with time? I know this is posted in the welcoming section so I will also post it in its correct place.
I am going to take some pictures right now that way you guys can better examine Leo and hopefully tell me what im dealing with as far as his overall condition.
Thank You!
