im really new to owning snakes but i will let you know what happened. i got a snake 2 weeks ago from a reptile shop after getting it home i noticed it had mites so rang the shop and they told me to bring it back for treatment after that they gave me sprays to use in the enclosure which was repti-guard and also cabin spray top of decent, after using these i left th enclosure to air out which was what i was told to do. i then decided to get a different snake, which was a baby darwin carpet python, i got her home today put her in the enclosure which was around 4pm and now she is all limp, so i pulled evrything out and scrubbed out the enclosure with warm soapy water and she is still limp, she has fresh water and the temp in the enclosure is siting at around 28c-30c. i dont know what to do as there is nothing open where i live. what should i do?

Is it moving at all, how cold is it there? Do you have a heat lamp?

Empty your mind, be formless. Shapeless, like water. If you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup. You put water into a bottle and it becomes the bottle. You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now, water can flow or it can crash. Be water my friend. - Bruce Lee.

I don't think so, if shes now moving then she could possibly drown in the water, or accidently swallow it and choke, not a good idea |

given that the animal is limp and not very responsive sounds like its maybe
poisoned

I think its probally best to take her to the vet ASAP. Things like this can get out of hand really quickly and this being your first snake, you may not know what your doing. I'm not saying that you have no idea about snakes but when it comes to things like this i go straight to the vet. I've been keeping bluey's almost all my life and when something bad happens i don't waste time i go straight to the vet, even in the end of the day, if its only something small, i don't mind the bill, but i know that anything can happen round the corner. |

If it is poisoning and it is in a limp state now i would suggest that it may be
too late.
You need to find out what it was that was in the spray bottle that was used
