    Re: Should I brumate my snake or not?

    I would cut out the Rosy's and switch to a more safe fish. Guppies or even fresh tilapia.
    Rosy's contain thiaminase which can create neurological issues and death.
    Here's a link to the care sheet which goes into more detail about that.

    How long as this issue been occurring?

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    I will ask for guppies at the pet store from now on. Is tilapia sold at grocery stores?
    Also, this noise he makes started early 2012 (Janurary) and took him to the vet in February.
