Omnom's big day

So I took Mr. Grumpus to my clinic for x-rays today...started out his day with being woken up (who likes that!), stuffed (not literally) into a different bin, bounced around in said bin for about 10 mins and then left on a table in a break room...

THEN he got stuffed (again, not literally) into a weird tube like device and carried around like a sword (not really) and was thus x-rayed a few different times.

AFTER all of that, he refused to come back out of said weird tube like device until he was literally prodded (gently) back into his different bin and boy was he mad!! Photos below...

Angry noodle of dooooooooooooooooom!!!!!


Angry noodle in a tube!!! (he had scrunched himself up and wouldn't move lol)


Neck kink and one a little further down
 
Just past the neck, midway-ish down the body


A little further still


After we managed to get him out of the weird tube like device, he was less than amused...

Angry noodle NOT amused with your shenanigns!!!


Even though he was scrunched up in the tube, you can clearly see where the kinks are :( poor little guy...my boss looked at 'em and thought he might (maybe) already be developing arthritis...wouldn't surprise me with kinks like that...
 
Aww poor Omnom, I hope he doesn't get arthritis :(. But he is looking gorgeous, he appears more purple in the angry noodle picture. I hope it all works out for the best.
 
Haha, angry noodle, that's great! Hope he doesn't get it either... he sure is cute, thank you for sharing. :)
 
Awww what an adorable angry noodle!
I hope he isn't getting arthritis, it must be horrible in snakes. :(
 
What a cute angry noodle!

Do NSAIDs work for snakes? I empathize with the little guy-I have scoliosis and there are days that Naproxen Sodium is my best friend.
 
NSAIDS are lethal to snakes.

I believe the calcified areas that resemble arthritis are just calcified areas. I don't think I would sweat that too much, based on conversations I've had with my vet about kinked animals. The spine builds up buffers around the kinks, and they don't seem to be painful like arthritis.
 
I'm not too worried, he seems to be ok. Eats, drinks, poops just fine. Kind of hard to take him seriously though lol...he doesn't bite me anymore but he close mouthed bumps me lol
 
Such a fierce little guy! Thanks so much for posting the x rays. They are very interesting to see.
