unless he starts to act different,which imo he would have done long before now,then i would just leave him be
when a snake gets exposed to poisonus fumes they usually thrash about showing neurological symptoms
i honestly think you got away with it this time and your snakes ok

I agree with Shaun, you would definitely see the affect of chemicals on your snake. I won't say any names, but my sister went into a local reptile pet shop, got really freaked out when she saw a bunch of snakes that looked like they were having seizures....she said it was awful. She asked the lady (co-owner) running the shop what was wrong with them.....I believe her exact works were...Oh My God......what the hell is going on with those poor snakes? Are they dying.......is there someone here that can help them? The lady said it was nothing to worry about. Her husband had treated them for mites and they always act like that after getting sprayed. She went on to say that the ones not showing any effects were used to the mite treatment and these would be fine too. My sis left and called me and I said told her that was not normal and that most of those snakes would probably die. Sure enough we heard from a guy that had purchased a snake from them that at least 9 had already died. I'm sure a lot more did after that. What sucks is this guy, the owner of the store, has been working with snakes for over 15 years and is supposed to be an "expert". Made me sick!
Anyways, better fabreeze than bleach or something extremely harsh.....sounds like he is going to be just fine!!!

Good job getting him right. I would guess that if you let him be for a couple of days he might be ready to eat for you. Good luck.

Re: I'm so stupid!!!! I neeeeed help!
I agree with not using Chemicals in the house. I can't even think about using most chemicals. My 5 birds wouldn't tolerate it at all. I use Vinegar and water as my cleaner. If for some reason I want the house to smell different I will find herbs and boil them on the stove in water. In the winter I love to boil vanilla, nutmeg and cinnamon sticks!

I could smell that as I'm thinking about it and it smells soooo goood!
lol
I'm definitely going to stop using Febreeze and try and get everyone in the house to do the same as with any other chemicals for ours and the animals sakes.
Thanks everyone, Vlad seems to be doing great so far, luckily I got him out of there soon enough, poor thing probably had no idea what hit him.
I'm about to go to the pet store and get a baby rat or 2. I'm nervous though, for 2 reasons, he won't eat the baby rat, or that it's going to steal my heart. I might end up getting another one just in case one happens to do so. lol

I think Wayne was saying you shouldn't bother going to a vet unless he has definite problems because if you do it could make more problems than it will fix.

Re: I'm so stupid!!!! I neeeeed help!
My guess is you just pissed him off a lot and will be fine. If he wasn't exposed to it for a long period of time or if you haven't sprayed him a few times don't stress it. Just do NOT make the mistake again.
