So sorry to hear about your snake, I have a very poorly wee snake at the moment so I fully empathise with you.
It may be worth getting a PM done, even if its just to get some closure on the whole nasty experience.
RIP your snake.x |

One quick note, if you plan to use the viv again, make sure you use something quite potent to disinfect it, sometimes these things can live a long time dormant.
Good point Mike. I disposed of Chester's viv, heating equipment and husbandary (mainly due to moving house and not having a snake to go in it) but before I did it I used a product called Virkon. It comes in powder or tablet form and it disolves in water (use gloves). Brilliant stuff it'll get rid of all bacteria. F10 is also reported to be great but I have not used it.
I use F10 cream on wounds, its absolutely amazing, one of my boas had a salmonella infection eating her nostril out, i used the f10 and cleared the whole thing up in 2 weeks! now she has a little crater where her nostril should be! |

Thanks to all. I have 3 young corns and my parents have now 6 corns (only 2 adults now) a ball python and a milk snake!!
We didn't know how old Jasper was so it could have been old age x
All the others are thriving and giving us plenty of pleasure as well as easing the loss of Jasper x x
Again thanks Bengy, we have kept all the info and have also discovered that we can get in touch with the reptile experts at Pili Palais x |

Thats great Mel that you have found a good reliable specialist there when you may need one in the future.
As said in my other post; I would be prudent and get a post mortem carried out on Jasper. I know it can be expensive (mine was around £90) but it will be worth it to know what the definate cause is; especially as you and your parents have other snakes. I hope it was nothing that can affect your other snakes but its not worth the risk not knowing.
I'm glad you found the site helpful and hope you will continue to use it. |
