not moving, dark spot by lip.. seems weak

[redtailboas213]

il not moving and picking head up since last ate 6 days ago
i know its probally normal for my boa to stay in one place after it just ate.. but something seems weird.. he is staying in one place and next to bottom lip it has a darrk spot that wasnt ther before.. this morning he kept opening his mouth really big like 7 times.. now right now when he seen me he picked his head up but he seemed really weak while picking up his head kind of lightly shaking... He ate a jumbo rat but rat didnt even leave a bump on him he is 6 foot

Do you have any pics? That would help us help you ;)

Do you feed live? Just wondering if maybe he was injured.

re head shaking

has he been exposed to any chemicals ?

cleaning solvents,air fresheners,etc ?


re dark spot
as said,we would need to see a picture of the dark spot

cheers shaun

Really hope you took everyone's advice and got him to a vet :/

I'd third the requests for a pict...even better, a video of the behavior. The more info you give the forum, the more able we are to help you.

okay my snake is doing fine i think i know what was wrong.. when my snake ate last friday i put him back in his tank.. when i put him in his tank he stayed on the cool side.. he didnt move from the cool side till i grabbed him and put him on the warm side by his heatpad.. after a couple minutes he was being himself tongue flicking, slithering around re arranging his logs and wáter bowl.. why didnt my snake go to the warm side on his own??? why did he stay on cold side????

[redtailboas213]

he stayed on cold side without moving for about 4 days...??? why wouldnt he go to warm side onhis own??

He's a snake, if he wants to get warmer he'll go to his warm side. That's what he is designed to do. If your husbandry is correct I would let him be and thermoregulate on his own accord.
