Meet the gang!

Im sorry your snakey isnt feeling well. Hope she is back to her old self in no time.

Mama's around 4 years old. She was wild caught, but based on the sizes of my snakes and their ages, 4-5 seems like the closest. She still had a bit of growing in her when I got her.

How is Mama doing? I hope she gets well fast for you!

[kibakiba]

Still lethargic. She's been doing a lot of sleeping. She ate another worm for me today, too.

I sure hope that she gets better soon. you said she ate a worm for you but has she been drinking also? just wondering .

[kibakiba]

Yes, her head was in the water dish for quite some time. I always make sure all of my snakes are drinking. If I suspect that they aren't, I pick them up and put their heads in the water dish, if they start drinking, then they likely haven't drank anything for a while, imo.

[Mrs N1ntndo]

well its good shes drinking but I hope she gets better soon. Are you gonna take her to a vet? and how long has she been acting like this.

[kibakiba]

Vets in WA don't treat garter snakes. If they did, I'd happily take a loan out and possibly ruin my credit just for her. Mama is my everything and losing her unexpectedly would leave me empty. I'd give anything of mine just to know if she was sick, so at least I would be able to prepare for a loss.
She's been acting "weird" for about 2 weeks, I'm thinking there's a heat(heat as in mating heat) thing going on, because she got more frantic when I was holding Snakey close to her tank, she was trying to get to her, or it seemed like it anyways.
She's been lethargic since I first posted about it about 2 days ago.

Still eating is a very good sign.

[kibakiba]

Indeed it is. The first two worms took a little bit of trying, but she took them.
