i would get the snake to a vet asap!! A vet will do payment plans if you cant afford to pay on the day, i had a snake die recently from mite spray poisoning that the pet shop sprayed on it, i took the snake to a vet, it came good for a day then died the following day! its not worth the risk of just leaving it to see how it goes!!!

the fridge blowing up is another one, its the wild card....
have you just tried giving it a warm soak...
and talk to your vet about a payment plan...
As mentioned before, if you cant afford to go to the vet, dont have animals! IF there is something wrong with the snake, do you want it to die slow and painful? It sucks having to pay vet fees, but get over it, I spent 300 there last week
as i mentioned earlier but got deleted for cursing.. i can not afford it because my wife has had a baby and she is very sick and all my earnings are goin towards her recovery and medical/prescription bills i am trying to do over time just to survive.. so to all u people who want to sit ther and judge people rather than have helpful tips dont bother commenting on the thread... because i dont want to deal with ur bull, i have enough things to deal with so how bout instead of me getting over it how about u get over yourself and not judge on things when u dont know circumstances...
and thanku sturdy and australis you 2 obviously understand that sometimes unexpected bills pop up yes i have given him a warm soak and he seems to be alot better he has stopped jerking so fingers crosses

Ours doesn't. So if we need to see them for a symptom that could mean a potentially life threatening condition- well, there's $90. That's all well and good. No problem
Oh wait, you want more for treatment? Yeah, okay... No wait, you think our animal needs surgery? Oh crap. Suddenly it's gone from 90 to $3000, and we're in dept and not earning enough at the moment. Sweet, thanks This happened quite a while ago to us for our dog. The vet wanted the consultation fee upfront (which is fine), and then the 3k within a week :shock:

did the instructions also say remove water dish? and more importantly did you remove water dish?
other wise you probably laced its water with poison
Good luck with him though
and i hope its nothing serious and he makes a full recovery

How dare vets try and make a living! Damn them all to hell! For those of you out there who are builders/plumbers/whatevers... If I walked into your work and was like "build me a house/fix my sink... but I can't pay" I wonder what would happen to me.
I do agree though, that if your vet won't work out a payment plan, ditch them and find one that will.

i'd be shocked if you can find a vet willing to give you a payment plan especially if you are a new or relatively new client.

I never said they shouldn't make a living, PhilK It was the fact that they wanted $3090 just about up front that was the troubling thing. They refused to make a payment plan, and so, after they did the surgery (the dog died not long after as well), we found another vet willing to make payment plans (and frankly, we get much better care at this one).

Well I do agree that is fair enough on your behalf and you probably did the right thing.I never said they shouldn't make a living, PhilK
Anyway, we're off track now... How's the shakey snakey?

I have treated the equivilent of over 2000 snakes with orange medic (including teatree oil) with no apparent side effects; except a heap of dead mites!
Similarly I have treated a few snakes with TOD with no apparent side effects; except an empty wallet.
Both products seem to control/or kill mites with relative saftey, but I am sure used enough you would find individual snakes which react negatively to the chemicals in either product.

UUUmmmmm when we got into snakes we treated three diamond hatchlings with orange medic as we were told.
We got orange medic with tee tree oil and the whole 3 died in agony.
Didn't affect the big snakes...only the small ones. This was before TOD.
We weren't told about getting the original orange medic.
After that we almost gave up bothering with reptiles as it was such a kick in the guts and took us months to recover.

Hatchies / small bodied animals are much more likely to be poisoned than larger animals, you have to be so careful no matter what you use.
