RE: help needed with henrylawsoni

What have you fed it? How old is it?
My juveniles did this when i first started collecting reptiles- i found it was beacuse i gave them mealworms which i never touched since. Causes intestinal blockage with the worms hard shell. Mine would lay flat on their tummys legs spread out like they were trying to pass something.

If it is something too big that she has eaten, you can gently massage her belly and keep the temp up on her.

Dave, how old is it?, and can it use it's back legs?(can it still walk properly?)....If it's a juvenile-sub, you have to be carefull not to feed to large a prey item.....clean any remaining feaces out of the cage and see if it still functions correctly.....Yeah mate, spray water regularly and keep the heat up, get to a vet asap, if theres no improvement.....
