Hello,
I bought that 1400grams female that is very miserable and she doesn't want to be touched(when you touch her she flatting her body like a cobras head..lol). She hasn't eat since i bought her....1.5 months now...and i find liquid pee every day all over the cage. Her vagina looks irritated and red and the smell in the cage its horrible. She looks very healthy with a good weight on her. Anybody knows what am i dealing with?

Christos, post photos. You mean her vent looks irritated?

It might be a good idea to collect a stool sample--fresh, bagged in a ziploc bag or small plastic container--and take it to the vet for a fecal analysis. If you can't take it to the vet right away, put it in the refrigerator, but be sure to get it to the vet within 24 hours. They can determine whether the snake has any internal parasites, and there are treatments that can be used on snakes.

Hang in there. Posting photos of her vent and her condition in general will help us help you.
