Try offering fresh cold water.. dehydration does weird things too. it's worth a try.

sometimes they will refuse their own water bowl even if it looks fine to you.

Good point. Balance is sensed in the inner ear by shifting fluid. If that fluid is low, then it can cause imbalance. Again, I think a vet is needed to find the cause.

Asap.

Well one of the documented symptoms of dehydration is lack of muscle control, spasms and shock. So I look into that possibility when I see those symptoms.

Thanks everyone...

It's been a very sad day over here, although he/she seems stable at the moment. Water has been changed of course and the other one is laying by its side... I will keep you all posted.

I feel like I am sitting here watching her die... and there is nothing i can do at the moment to do anything about it.

Can you find a vet that can help? Many petsmarts have vets open all day saturday and sunday. They often are NOT great but if you know what you want (i.e. injectible b vitamins) you can call and see if they can provide that. I would do my own research before going in (i.e. what they need, what dosage, needles, etc... as those vets are hit and miss but sure a heck of a lot cheaper than an emergency clinic on a weekend).

There is one in Traverse City, MI about an hour away. Maybe they have a vet hospital that is open today. Even if it is NOT a b deficiency I really doubt if supplementing with vitamin b can do any harm, but of course I do not know. If it is an infection maybe fin dout how those are diagnosed, I would assume a non-herp vet will know about as much as you do so be prepared.

Not sure if snakes can be given sub-q fluids for dehydration (maybe someone here can tell you) but if there is a way to tell if snakes are dehydrated and they can be given fluids I would find out about that too before going in.

With all due respect.
Euthanizing at this point should be a consideration, in my opinion.
Death from B1 deficiency is a agonizing thing to watch and almost always terminal in its late stages(if I'm wrong please correct me).
It's your call as the keeper.
Not an easy decision and one I don't envy.
Best of luck.
