So I've accepted the fact that my Python may die, and could be very sick. However, I'm willing to do anything I can to prevent this.
He will not take food. Usually did with thawed out pinkies. Has not eaten in almost two months, even when live food was presented. Besides being weak, I can't figure out what is wrong with him.
He does not yet have skin folds, and has some good muscle mass. But he is laying on his side for probably about half his body length, and continues to put his head on his side to the ground and sleeps in ackward and what appears to be un healthy positions.
He has been provided with a heat pad and a basking lamp, a hide, a huge water bowl, and right now he is covered with a towel to prevent any further stress.
I usually don't keep the humidity high to prevent a moist cage, but he definitely has enough water to bathe, drink, and to keep a slight humidity.
He also continues to open his mouth, to the point where he'll lay on his head with it open for awhile before closing it. He also bit me today, and bit HIMSELF, to the point where I had to pry him off of his own body, but then would not take a pinkie.
He's also been soaked in a bath.
Does anyone have ANY idea what's going on, or if these signs are fatal?
