urgent help with python

[barbed_wire_dove]

wow leighroy thats intense!
im glad she came good!
did you ever find out what it was? or why it happened?

 

[leighroyaus]

nah barbed wire didn't.
no reptile vets near wherei am either.
but nothing has happened since.
she eats fine now, infact shes a guts, and also moves around fine, no visible defects on her toungue, no repitry infections no nothing, sheds fine everything. puzzled me and alot of other people as to what happened.
considering i was out all day, so nothing went in or out of the reptile room and every other reptile was fine.
big scare anyways thats for sure

i also feed my own food so i know it wasnt the food from me, BUT the olive had been fed a day old chicken purchased from a pet shop about a week or so before, which may/maynot have had anything to do with it, hard to tell

 

[barbed_wire_dove]

I had a UV light, it was only on every now and then,
and most of the time, when it was warm, he'd spend the whole day in the back yard on the grass, in the sun with my mum.
he always got plenty of sun

 

[leighroyaus]

any chance that anyone sprayed anything in the room? deoderents or anything?
wasnt given any medication at all? enclosure wasnt sprayed with TOD or anything?

Ive had a lot of suggestions saying it could have been a food poisoning thing, but ive never had a problem with the place i get them, ive been going there since he hatched. and they havent changed anything with their food, they've always killed them the same way and breed them in back of store.
i dunno. its really weird.
it makes me wonder if it was a stroke or heart attack or something...
:?

I know its not proven but it is to me!!

 

[Jdsixtyone]

Where u feeding him rats? Maybe a blood cot?

 

[leighroyaus]

do a autopsy if you really want to put your mind at rest, bout the only thing u can do now

 

[barbed_wire_dove]

na he was fine in the morning, and i was the only one home all day.
i was sitting on the couch doing tafe work, and he was fine when i left to get my bf from work (coz i always say bye ), i came back an hour later and he was a shoelace.
nothing was sprayed or anything.

 

[barbed_wire_dove]

do i just take it to a vet for an autopsy...?
and how much does it usually cost?

 

[Jdsixtyone]

I dunno but every vet can do it.

I took on a Water Dragon with pretty severe metabolic, gave him plenty of UV and calcium, and his spine firmed up. Cool little guy used to swim with me in the pool (as best he could) and just chill out with me. The little fella died one day and I was just happy to have had him knowing I gave him the best care I could get/give.
At least you can know that you did the same, and remember the eight good years you had.

All the best anyway.
