My snake is not looking so good...
He just sits there and doesn't move. Any ideas of what could be wrong?

Re: My snake is not looking so good...
Hmmm, I think the problem is that you're keeping it on sand. Also, he's looking a bit ribby. When's the last time he ate?

Re: My snake is not looking so good...
You really should have a thermostat on that heat source or else you will cook that poor snake.

Re: My snake is not looking so good...
very cool picture.
I think you need more humidity.
He looks a bit dried out.

Re: My snake is not looking so good...
IDK what the others are talking about...
I have a lot of experience with those kinds of snakes and he looks OK to me. The only thing I'd recommend is giving him a little bit more heat to keep him looking happy and healthy. Good luck!

You should put a hopper inside of it.
