Re: Bizarre woma python affliction- anyone see something like this before?
Ok. Just got home from the vet- it was nothing to do with the pest strips. The vet said the female had bitten him in the throat and he got a jaw infection. The swelling pinched off the nerves running down his spine, like your leg falling asleep.
He's on a course of Tylan and should make a full recovery! I'm so happy he's going to be ok....and no more hanky panky for him.

Re: Bizarre woma python affliction- anyone see something like this before?
The real question is what did the male say to the female woma to piss her off so badly?
Glad to hear it's mother crazy bad 
Interesting case for sure..

Re: Bizarre woma python affliction- anyone see something like this before?
i'm sorry to see him like this Kimberly.....
the first thought that popped into my head as i read your post,was that maybe the female attacked him after mating...
are their any marks on the female or him,that would back up this theory pal ?
cheers shaun
p.s.sorry Kimberly,i just read the whole thread,confirming the female had a go at him

Yeah, that's what I figured....which is why I mentioned it.
I've seen it a few times now. Sometimes females just don't like to be relentlessly spurred and will grab the male a choke em out of they don't knock it off.
Just give her a break. In fact, give her a few weeks then try to re introduce him.
He may have already done the deed but, I'd still try in Jan. Jan and Feb seem to be the months that my aspidities breedings mean the most.
Cheers,
D

Re: Bizarre woma python affliction- anyone see something like this before?
I'm definitely separating them for a long while. They have actually been together since around March, when he busted out the divider between the cages and squeezed in to get to her. I kept noticing copulations even up to a week ago, so I had let them stay together.
I'm going to give it a rest for the season this year I think. It's not worth losing my male to me. I might try to breed them again next year, as I will have some other animals ready for cooling in that room too at that point.
It's odd...I didn't see any bite marks on Mac. ...he must have been bitten a few weeks ago, and the infection just built up even though the marks healed. Poor guy. He's looking even better this morning though- he's able to slither around a bit and looks like he's getting his coordination back.

I wouldn't worry about it too much. Any time you put aspididties together....you run that risk.
When breeding my Black-Headeds and womas....I put males in only for a few days then remove them for a couple days.... then put em back. Females don't seem to get as stressed that way.
If he's been in that long....I can see why it happened.
As far as bite marks....like I said in my first post....you don't see em very well on scales.
Might get some scales out of place or folded on the ends but, it's very hard to see that a snake has been bitten by another snake.
Most likely, it happened the day before you noticed him like that.
Glad he's OK.

Re: Bizarre woma python affliction- anyone see something like this before?
Thanks Derek,
These are my only Aspidites and I wasn't aware of their tendency to bite each other. I will be much more careful about letting them together in the future and only do it for a few days at a time, like you suggest. I appreciate any advice- I'm admittedly more knowledgeable on the vipers than pythons anymore.
