On behalf of Expert Village I'm Nicole from Pet Kingdom. I'm here to tell you about sick
snakes. Many species that are caught in the wild and transported to your local pet stores
will come with internal parasites. This is something you want to be very careful of cause
most of internal parasites will require antibiotics which will definitely mean a trip to the vet.
One sign that your snake has is internal parasites is bloody stools if your snake is passing
blood or if your snake is regurgitating it's food a lot. If it can't seem to keep anything
down but has the appetite to eat, if it's star gazing in other words if it's standing
up looking at the ceiling or the sky with no particular intention just kind of dazing
off, staring into space. Then you know your snake probably has an internal parasite that
is caused some neurological problems. All internal parasites are very serious diseases
and they need to be treated by a vet as soon as possible. If you need to find a vet in
your area that has a background in herpetology, it's very simple to do. All you need to do
is find a vet in your area any kind of vet, call them and ask if they have a doctor that
a herpetological background. If they do not, they are very likely to be able to guide you
somewhere that has a herpetological background. Even if you have to go to the next city over,
it's definitely worth it cause all internal parasites are extremely dangerous to your
pets health.
