/b/ros... i just came home and my ball python was dead. after

>>718361569
don't know what happened, but rip snake bro

my condolences. now do something fun with the corpse for the /b/oys

Hey, /b/ro. What substrate are you using so we can iron out the possibilites?

>>718361569
Have the substrate mouth problem with my boa. Symptom of respiratory infection. I am sure, and taking steps to cure her.


Respiratory infection kills many snakes

Close up pic?
Condolences.

got an axanthic too? thats sad, sorry to hear it.. maybe he swallowed a good bit of the substrate and got impacted. use papertowels or reptile carpet if you get another one

>>>/an/

RIP in pepperoni to your snek, /b/ro

:/ you can see it in his mouth

i don't think he was too hungry and ate the substrate maybe?

>>718361569
Probably got jealous of all the trouser snake you put in your mouth.

>>718363039
Yeah, Cocofiber isn't good for alot of snakes since it can get lodged and become hard to pass through. Avoid sand, shavings and peat bedding.Also, never use any substrate containing cedar!!

I use Aspen bedding for all of my snakes.

>>718363220
It won't be the substrate. The blue scale colouring and the swollen belly is just the beginnings of decomposition, it's not a symptom of whatever killed him. Let me think for a moment...

>>718363841
Is is the substrate lol.
>snake sees mouse, lunges misses, gets mouth full of dirt, can't pass, dies.

I don't suppose he was weezing/ clicking/ frothing at the mouth before he died? Or keeping his head raised above the ground to better breathe. I'm still thinking it might have been unnoticed RI that just got to him. On the other hand, ball pythons are such finicky eaters that a snek 1 day from death would only rarely eat

snake... Snake... SNAAAAAAAKE?
Rip Snake, sorry for your loss dude.
I had a snake and my sister replaced a shallow bowl with like a big ass bowl of water in the tank and my snake drowned itself so... I feel u man

>>718363578
damn dude. i feel bad for the guy. he was so docile

>>718364150
probably this dude. my roommate always fucking vapes in our house when i told him not to

>>718364117
I've kept many sneks on almost every type of substrate barring cedar/ other toxic shit. Never have any of these sneks impacted in 10+ years. Frogs did it almost constantly though.

Also, if it was impacted, it wouldn't be in the mouth now.
I could be corrected though. Cut it open and see if it's full of substrate.

Sry for your lose bro. r.i.p. Snake bro

>>718364755
RI is more of a snek "cold" than getting something from a mate vaping in the house.
The lungs gunk up with mucous shit, the little fella has trouble breathing and the nose becomes an almost solid mess. It's not good. No.1 cuse of death in pet snakes.

>>718364764
I have my whites tree frog using coco fiber, I did have my fire bellied toads use it too until I switched to spagnum moss. Both are very healthy. I only had problems with cocofiber with a snake who barely lived from impaction.

>>718363240
Fuckin snork'd! 2 thumbs up your ass!

>>718365308
>cheaped out one time and bought some bottom line shit tier coconut peat
>feed frogs
> next day entire colony of green tree frogs are dead.
It killed some whites too, but I quickly changed them to what I was using before.

Depends on the brand I guess.

>>718365074
thanks bro

>>718365186
damn dude. i feel bad this was my first snake and i could barely keep him 6 months. i definitely did something wrong but not sure what

>>718365908
lol yeah, I usually talk to a vet before I put stuff in my tank.

How many whites were there?

>>718366119
Greens*

>>718365924
These pythons are very finicky eaters and not tolerant of temperatures they cannot handle. Worst of all, they do that ostrich thing and hide any signs of illness for as long as they are able- it prevents them from looking like weak prey in the wild. What's your temperature setup?

>>718366119
Fuuuu man this was like 7 years ago. Not kept frogs for a long time now. I know I had three or four whites, one of which was killed, and the greens... there were quite a few, They were still very little. Adorable things. Maybe 10 or 12 or so?

>>718366754
Damn, you must've had a big set up, How big was it?

>>718366865
Not as big as you'd think tbh. One of them 45x45x60 exo terras for the whole colony. It was aesthetic asf though. Properly lit and decorated and mounted on a spare bedside table. Much nicer than some stupid ornament. There's a corn snek sitting in it atm.

heating pad under his hide and a uv light

i thought something was up with him yesterday actually, here's a pic of how he was chilling

i posted on /b/ asking what could be wrong and everyone said he's probably just being weird

>>718367352
Sounds hella nice, I adopted a single large female whites from petco, the only one in the entire ugly cage. She's very happy although she likes to hide and doesn't climb on the ropes we provided her.

>>718367718
> asking /b/ to figure out what is wrong with their pet.

You don't deserve to own a pet.

>>718368325
>implying everyone is as useless as you are

>>718367718
That he ate the substrate is a symptom for me. Maybe he had probs with his inner organs or he was hungry. how often did you feed him, which water do you give him ?
What is in the water you give him ?
With what do you feed him ?

>>718368701
Pretty poor comeback.

>>718368954
I think it might be protozoa infection or a parasite. How do you feed the snake, was there a time where the meal got warm for extended times ?

>>718368954
he didn't eat for about a month (i think because my roommates weren't thawing the mouse properly) and ate a fuzzy about a week ago

usually when he was hungry or something was up he'd go crazy in the tank and try to escape but he didn't do it this time

i just gave him tap water but i read all dangerous additives to it would evaporate before he accessed it

External parasites are usually easy to diagnose, though immature stages of mites may lie dormant under scales or just inside the eye cavity.

>>718367718
Snakes are simple things, any sign of weirdness is usually a sign something is wrong. I went a week giggling at what a silly silly my constrictor was being, since it spent almost every waking moment trying to keep it/ head motionless in the air.
And it turned out to be RI.

I can't see from the pic what is unusual about your one's behaviour though. It's not rolled up in a ball? Could you elaborate?

>>718368227
Whites are the frogs of kings. Wish I could get me some more but circumstances don't allow currently. I would be wary of purchasing anything from money grabbing pet selling chainstores like petco though.

tbh i think it had an infection, and because of that wasnt eating well and wasnt active.
Could have another cause thought. im not an expert.

bye snek

>>718369822
he looks fat in it first of all, and he was moving around a lot between the hide and outside, so i was thinking it's a temp problem

his ass is really swelled up, is that definitely post mortem?

>>718369974
and then when it got really sick and realized its going to die it tryed to eat something because of the weird feeling in his stomach. the day before it was probably beginning to die because his body couldnt fight the infection anymore.

>>718369822
It was a very careful buy. We got her for cheap. 13 bucks, she was the last one and they didn't want to restock them with more until she was sold. She was very healthy given her tank setup in the store. She's actually sitting on my shoulder as I type.

>>718370044
Won't be what I thought originally then, if his bum was swelled up. Might very well be that impaction actually.
If you really want to know, freeze him and take him to a vet when you have the time.

Im really ssssssssssory for your lossssssss. :(

Ehm how old was it ?

>>718370461
damn bro, thanks for your help. i'll probably just give him a viking's funeral

>>718370467
ty m8

>>718370644
6-7months :/

It looks young. I think that a bacterial infection killed it.

>>718370257
Pic? :)
13 bucks for a healthy Whites Tree frog is a pretty good buy. Have to watch out for parasites and shit though. Did they tell you if it was captive bred?

>>718370823
i mean i can say that 100 times it wont be more true but i cant think of anything else in your situation, other then temperature or stress.

I am sorry about your snek op.

>>718370862
Yes, they did. We took her to the vet and she was cleared. Sending a pic rn.

>>718370862
thats a point, too. but parasites are unlikely imo

>>718371038
are his eye whites a bit yellow-ish ?

Did his fecies look strange to you before he died ?

>>718370955
thanks for the help hombre. much apprecitaed

Amebiasis or Trichomoniasis could have been the cause in combination with an infection. But you should have recognized symptoms.

>>718371696
Eyyyyy what a lovely frog! Porky lil' nipper as well. Bless his cotton socks.

Anyway, 3am here, I'm off to bed else I'll be hammered in the morning.

>>718371662
im not very aware how prone to infections these guys are.

rip. i think that's the last reptile for me for a while. i'll stick to birds

>>718361569
RIP
anyways op lets have fun
trips for 4chan space program.

Snake? SNAKE?! SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

>>718372319
i know y guy who had snakes too and the female one died.it stopped eating and lust on eating and then some time it died.

>>718372382
Snek is heavy and it more fun with live animals

I'd say skin it and make something out of the leather, or hang it on the wall as is. Also remove fangs and throatfuck. Bury it in a nice spot where you know it won't be disturbed.

Dude the thing might be infected and you want him to THROATFUCK it ?
Youre either retard or hat OP

>>718373074
i mean hate

>>718373074
It's just a reptile, doubt it can make OP sick. Then again all part of the thrill no? I did tell him to remove the fangs first.

>>718373552
bet he already heeds your advice. the vets will wonder about the com later on.
