Re: Woma python is corkscrewing

I'm sorry. I really do hope it's not IBD.

Could it be toxic exposure from the substrate?

I hope so. But all the other snakes used the same substrate so I don't know why only 1 snake would have symptoms and no one else. The vet, after seeing Charlotte and hearing about the other snakes, did not believe it was toxin exposure.

We get CBC results Friday. IBD PCR could be up to 2 weeks. I probably won't be sleeping for 2 weeks.

But if anyone asks, I only have 1. The rest just showed up for the house party.

The hand sanitizer you used in the container that held the used/reused substrate... is it possible some residue from that could have permeated the substrate? What's in it?

Also, what kind of soap do you use? It can be hard to get every single trace of it, even with rinsing. Any dyes, fragrances, chemicals?

I'm also suspicious of the bathtub cleanser. Lysol in particular is something I've been warned against using anywhere near snakes.

Those 3 things all popped out at me as possibilities for chemical exposure.
