I Morph community. I am in a hard place here. I got my boy who is only 2 AND A HALF months old. He is alert and shy at the same time but also I have only had him 3 weeks. He is in a rack system. Hot side 87 and cool 78 give or take a degree. He was only eatting live fuzzy rat pups. I gave him a frozen thawed mouse twice and he took it just fine. The weird thing is he poops and pees with the white urates every other day. His poop is light brown and fudgy. He releases a lot of liquid when he does go. Then today he reguritated a week old meal. Im upset and dont know if I should take him to the vet. When I got him he was skinny too. I am not gonna feed or handle him for 2 weeks to let him rest. Please any advice will help. Also I had him out crawling around with my other snakes but will quarentine him.
He needs to go to a vet ASAP, that is the only real advice I can give you
This could be many things, hopefully its not but you definitely need to keep an eye on your collection since he’s been around them.
(Edit) For future reference, please DO NOT have new snakes around your other snakes for any reason, especially if the new animal is already in poor condition. They need a minimum of one month quarantining when they enter a new home. You put your entire collection at risk by not doing so… please keep an eye on them because there are a lot of diseases/parasites that can spread and become lethal to reptiles.
If your snake is regurgitating a week after feeding, there’s a digestion issue. Are you sure your temps are correct? How are they being measured? How much does your snake weigh and what size mice are you feeding? You may want to take him to the vet for a fecal and to be sure he’s not getting too dehydrated.
As for quarantining, it’s good you’ve separated him, but you’ve already exposed all of your animals to anything that might be infectious, You absolutely should not be adding a new snake to your snake room without quarantining a bare minimum of 30 days, most people do 2-3 months or more for safety.
Big agree on what has been said.
QT should have happened on day one and a vet is needed.
Ball python hatchlings with these symptoms will dehydrate very quickly. They need to be treated as soon as possible. Pooping and especially Peeing that much is very unusual.
Are you certain the meal was a regurge? They can poop out very undigested looking stools when kept too warm. I would recheck your temps.
