    Just @$#*&%!! great.

    So my snake luck is taking a turn for the worst. I think Deejay is having seizures.
    Her body keeps going into these jumpy spasms, and when I pick her up, her whole body is just shuddering. I've never seen anything like this.
    It's not like the thiaminase spasms -- she isn't writhing and twisting, but she's lying still, just jumping, like we do when we're startled!
    I fed her last night -- salmon and nightcrawlers -- and she was FINE. She ate with her usual fire and gusto. Now this.
    What the hell????

    Where do you get your worms/nightcrawlers from?

    My yard, when it rains. No pesticide used here, either.

    Not that I know of. Well, I mean, yes I have neighbours, but they don't do anything with pesticides either. One neighbour uses weed'n'feed occasionally, but not near my lawn.

    Hmm... If he's done it recently, and you collect worms during rainstorms, some of it may get washed onto your lawn, depending on where he's located.

    He's next door, but I don't think they've done anything since last year.
    I've always fed her worms from my yard, and I fed them to her mom too.
    Deejay's always been perfectly healthy. This is just so sudden, I just can't fathom why.

    If it were something I've fed her, could it be undone if I changed the diet? Or would she end up damaged permanently?

    I don't know... You might have bad weather moving in.
