I checked on my '03 mot/stripe male two days ago and found that he seems to be having problems with his muscle control. I took him out and its like holding a rubber snake. He can move around his tub seemingly ok, but if I'm holding him he flops like he can't support himself.
No other snake in my collection appears affected by this and he's been fine for the whole 8 months we've had him, until now. It's almost like he's had a stroke of something. I can't get him in to the vet until next week. I'm thinking I'll probably have to euthanize him. I hope it's not something contagious.
I was hoping to use him to maybe get some stripe hets this spring. He's so docile and nice looking. This sucks.
