Re:Update: Worried about a kinky spine.

Finally managed to track down a reptile vet and got an appointment set up for tomorrow evening, hopefully all goes well and I'll get some answers.

Re: Worried about a kinky spine.

Well I got her to the vet last night and he said there are a couple different options as to what it is. 1. Scoliosis, although he's kinda iffy on this one because she still has good mobility throughout her body and she gave no indication whatsoever of being in pain. 2. It could be from a previous injury, having something fall on her etc. 3. (and this was the one I had a hard time understanding so I probably will say it wrong) He said it's possible that she could have gotten infections from the mouse bites when she was fed live and that the infection messed up the caps? on her vertebrae causing things to go crooked and fuse that way. I think that's mostly correct as to what he said. So I feel a little bit better now knowing some options as to what it could be, but it's still frustrating not knowing exactly what is wrong with her. Vet said that otherwise she is in perfect health, heart rate, breathing, mouth all look good. No mouth rot or scale rot and her personality is wonderful . He even showed me where to look to see her heart beat which was pretty cool.
