Re: Thamnophis on speed
This morning she was curled up under the spot. Actually, she was very normal. I don't get it.
Can the deferiency vary in intensity or is it constant when it first occurs?
I handled her again and she felt like there was something inside her. The scales are separated, so "unfortunately" I think she's pregnant.
I called an experienced herper and he said that it could be the pregnancy or the b1 deferiency. But if the last, it would probably be too late to call a vet. And he mentioned that it could hard to find a qualified vet - I agree with that.
I will check up on her when I get home. It's so sad because she's pregnant

Re: Thamnophis on speed
Oh, and he mentioned that if it is deferiency in first state I maybe could nurse her by immediately switch to mice. She's eating well, but not as much as she used to.

Re: Thamnophis on speed
... I recalled one more symptom from yesterday. She opened her mouth - like after a meal for replacing her mouth - and it was like she had "something" in her mouth or throat that she tried to get rid off. But there was nothing. She pulled back head and neck in order to get rid off this "thing" in "wavings". It looked like that.
Unfortunately, I don't have any camera besides on my phone, but I continue to update you if anyone is interested.

Re: Thamnophis on speed
its good to keep others updated on our snakes illness/problems. Even if that particular snake can't be helped just making others aware of the warning signs and the progression of the affliction may help snakes in the future.
Remember these guys are tough so don't count her as a loss just yet
Thanks for posting and good luck

Re: Thamnophis on speed
It seems that everything is back to normal. She's still very aggressive, but no thrashing around the cage, no wavings, headbangings or other strange movements.
If ANYONE reading this has experienced something like the above I would be so happy to hear about it!!
She's 110 cm., 350 g. and four years old. And I do believe she's pregnant.

Re: Thamnophis on speed
Glad to hear things have settled down. Keep a close eye on her. Do you provide any vitamin suppliments? Here's the one I use. I give it 2-3 time a month.

Re: Thamnophis on speed
I don't give her any vitamins because I feed her pinkies from time to time. I have a theory that the occasional mice will do it. But now I will consider it! Thanks for the link.
You don't believe it can have anything to do with her pregnancy? Not that I close my eyes for the possibility of b1 deferiency but I really do find it strange when it disappears that fast again
