Need help python may be sick!

[Chu'Wuti]

Jordan, I'm so sorry to hear that your snake died; I know you were trying to save it. I think it had just been too unhealthy for too long; it may have been close to death when you first posted on this forum.

Jordan, we don't want to be disrespectful of your dad, but it doesn't appear that he knows as much about snakes as he might need to know to ensure they stay healthy, or else he might have been able to help you better. Pythons should live a loooong time--I expect that one of my sons will inherit the BP I have now, because I'm old enough that it's likely to outlive me. They can easily--if cared for properly--live longer than you are old right now.

BPs are easy snakes, but something went seriously wrong with yours. Before you get another snake, learn all you can about proper husbandry so that you can give it the best home possible and help it live a long and healthy life.

I hope you won't be offended by what we're saying--we truly don't mean to be offensive. We just believe that snakes--like any animal--should be cared for carefully so that they live as healthy and comfortable a life as possible in captive conditions.

Hang in there.
