Thamnophis on speed

I can guarantee 100% that I don't have a mite problem. So if it can't have anything to do with her pregnancy I think it's the thiaminase. I will watch her close and switch to mice immediately.

She's beautiful. I may have missed it but where would the thiaminase have come from? This may also be another good reason to start a supplement.
Too be honest, I've never had a snake show signs of B1 deficiency and then return to normal. It was always a down hill slide ending in death and it didn't take over 24 hours. The convulsions are horrible to see. They do a death roll with their mouth open. This doesn't sound like the symptoms your snake was experiencing.
If you don't see a return of those symptoms soon I think you can rule out B1 deficiency for now.
I, by no means am a Vet. or expert in what might be happening. I would still recommend a checkup at a reputable Rep. Vet.

I have fed her Smelt (Atherina [FONT=verdana,geneva,lucida,'lucida grande',arial,helvetica,sans-serif]b[/FONT]oyeri) and occasional mice as a supplement.

I'm "glad" to hear about your experiences with the deficiency because she still doesn't show ANY of the symptoms from yesterday. It's quite a mystery.

I have been visiting a friend of mine this evening who's a herper too. He told me that he had experienced vomiting and convulsions with a Heteredon nasicus bemore producing slugs.I can't help thinking that maybe somthing has stuck in her throat.

Hmm... I keep you informed if new things start to happen...

For now, thanks to everyone

Day 89, spending all her time under the spot. Very aggressive.

Tried to feed her today, she won't eat anything at all - not even fish as she used to LOVE.

But the positive thing: She has not showed a single sign of the convulsions.

This snake drives me crazy

It's that why we love them... we are crazy
Courage !

It's not b1 deficiency.

She can't give birth to her babies and we will try to inject "oil" to help her. Don't know how to explain it in english

Inject oil? I don't know what that is but why do anything.
Is she having complications?
