Dehydrated snake..

[joeysgreen]

Ill dehydrated snakes generally don't eat; nor are they physiologically able to process a normal meal. If it hasn't already been suggested, the more I learn about this animal, the more I think it should be taken to a veterinarian.

I agree with Joey. Something is VERY wrong with a snake that for whatever reason won't drink from readily available water sources. Is this the one that was frozen (correct me if I'm wrong, I'm kind of in a hurry and don't have time to re-read threads)? If so I still think you may be looking at some sort of organ damage like I initially said... There's just something very off about this.

Must of been another thread Lora this one had never been frozen.

I never actually seen her drink even when she was well. I think she did at night or just when she had been alone for a while, she had to have drank then. Sounds like the best idea Joey. Going to have to bring her first thing tomorrow.

Okay, sorry about that. I just remembered there was another thread about a dehydrated snake that had gotten really cold.

I still think a vet visit is probably a good idea. There's no reason a healthy snake shouldn't drink regularly on its own.
