hey all,
Ive been away for the last 3 days and when i checked on all my snakes and geckos all was good was well i thought it was till my dad said to me have a look at the female atherton shes been acting weird and moving around heaps doing twists>
so i thought i better check it out as i opened the door and took her hide box of her she opened her mouth and started twisting around draging her mouth opened around the floor and the side of the enclosure as far as i no this isnt normal or is it ??
ive had her for nearly 2months i think now shes about 5 foot ??
All feeds i have tryed to feed she has only just recently eaten a chicken head wouldnt take the rest of it though, everything else she has just turned down cold.

If anyone can help me out with any info on what it could be or what i can do i would be very much appreciated


Thanks luke

Mate quarentine everything NOW, you may have a very serious problem
on you hands, do not handle any of you other reps after being in contact with
her.Get her to a rep vet ASAP and have her checked out.
You say you have only had her a short time do you know her history at all?

Is there a chance something could be stuck in his mouth or throat? My spotted has done this if he taken in some substrate when he's gone to tag me and missed, he then keeps opening his mouth and wiping it to get the stuff out, sounds similar behaviour.
But having said that I knew what caused mine.
Can you see in his mouth without stressing him out?

My thought was either something is stuck in its neck, or something much more sinister like IBD or OPMV, hence Beeman's post with fill quarentine.

Either way, Vet ASAP.
