PLEASE HELP ASAP

Just make sure it's her favorite flavor!

I'm glad this had a happy ending. Mango's a troublemaker inside too. If I get distracted for one second while I'm holding him he's getting into the couch cushion or wrapping around something. He's just so long. Almost 6 feet. I might let him crawl in the grass or something. No more trees though.
 
Thank you everyone, and I will do the 1/3 gatorade/water soaking with her in the morning. She seems much better and is more active. I'm really hoping she pulls through and gets back to herself.
 
I am so gad she is ok!!!

And I appreciate the warning. It's very hot where we live and it would be easy to make a serious mistake here.

It's okay to go out in your yard for a limited time if the temp is 80-85, but remember the ground temp can be 20-30 degrees hotter, or even more.

WOW. I did not know that. I've never heard that before. I'm so glad you mentioned that!
 
I'd say she's about 90% better this morning. I'm thrilled! Thank you everyone :bowdown:

I soaked her again this morning and she was NOT happy about it. She fought me back hard and tried everything to get out of the water and climb up my arms. Which I was happy about because she was strong and spunky. When I held her above the water she drank greedily. I held her for just about 5 minutes and she never sat still, twining between my fingers and exploring my bed. She seems back to normal almost. Ever since I've had her she's had a balance problem though lol. Always falling off of her vines and into her water bowl.

She was rubbing and pushing hard against my fingers sometimes and she did it to her hide when I put her back. Is this pre-shed behavior? I didn't think it would happen again this soon.
 
Dana, I'm glad that it turned out ok!
Also, thank you for posting this. Hopefully it will serve to prevent other people from the same mistake.
 
I hope this thread does help others. It was something that had not even occurred to me and could have ended with a horrible result. I am just glad that I am a part of this forum and that so many people are willing to help.

I did a lot of temp measuring when I first put my tortoises outside. The ground temp, on grass, in the sun, can be 120F or even hotter. Of course you could never put the snake down on bricks or a deck or anything like that! Even at 80F in the sun a patio is too hot for a snake.
