Constipated? Picture included

Tyguy35 · 07-21-14, 12:21 AM

Hey, is this a normal looking tail for a GTP. I normally work with other snakes and this usually means contipated. If she is constipated how can I help her.

Thanks

That certainly doesn't look normal to me.

Try a warm bath.

I have had her in a bath about 40 min now. Still nothing she's just pissed off

Tyguy35 · 07-21-14, 01:23 AM

I got her two weeks ago she hasn't used the washroom in that time. Should I put her in the tub and keep fighting her from getting out to hopefully workout a poop?

Any other thoughts

Is that how she arrived? I would have called the breeder right away

It was a young kid I took her off of. Got her for next to nothing so I consider her a rescue. But yes that how she came. Is there anything I can do to make her go.

I personally would say if a few warm soaks don't work then a vet trip may be in order.

Can you possibly get another picture or two for us? It looks like the vent is stuck open almost?

Tyguy35 · 07-21-14, 11:21 PM

I will do my best at the moment is not an option she is resting but er vent is closed currently she soaked about an hour in the pic I think it was kinda open. I'll see what I can do in the morning.

Another shot

That looks like a bad backup. Hopefully someone that has rectified a problem like this can chime in. If it were my snake, I would stop feeding, and stick with the warm baths- maybe try super gently massaging it after a warm bath.

Tyguy35 · 07-22-14, 11:18 AM

I just noticed in the soak her tail goes back to a somewhat normal state. I'm also trying the massaging also.

In the tub
