Hello and welcome. I'd advise you to get her into a reptile vet ASAP.

Re: newbie here :)

Thanks Y'all!
Lankyrob, thanks for the advice. I have already wrote my questions and concerns in another thread.
But sadly my poor baby didn't make it. from the research that I did, I really believe he had IBD. Not sure though, but I know it was neurological. We felt so bad for him cause he started acting weird last night (very slow and wobbly) and worse today with twitching, rolling, and "star-gazing".

I want to find a breeder this time...forget that petsmart stuff...we really fell in love with that snake and I have grown to really love all snakes now.

I definitely will!! glad you said that because I would like to know the best way of doing this...like what to use? Did a little research but google is not ALWAYS RIGHT LMAO Don't want to use chemicals!!! I just can't believe the little guy got sick. and I DON'T want this to happen to another snake. It was so sad to watch...
Do you think he/she had this from the get go? Because that was the only reptile we had in this house or enclosure.

Re: newbie here :)

I don't know what the disease actually was, or whatever. But you might want to just not get any snakes for a while. Bleach and water is a good way to kill things, and the oven works for things which can be put in the oven. But I'd wait a while still

Re: newbie here :)

I am definitely waiting a while. Is there something I can get to put in the water to give him some vitamin B. Or am I totally off...??? was thinking he was vitamin deficiency.
