Problem with my snake2007-11-24 2:01:55

My snakes' back is hurting. How can I make it feel better?

Answers:

I guess you would rub the snake until it relaxed just like you would any animal. Or you could put it back in it's cage and hope it will just go to sleep.

How do you know it's back is hurting?

But if for some reason you're really positive about this, I'd say just be careful when you're handling it. Make sure you're giving it plenty of support, i.e. don't hold it from near it's tail or near it's head, as this can put a lot of stress on the spine. Make sure it's not just dangling in the air. Other than that, I'm not quite sure what you can do. Good luck!

Like previous answer- how do you know it's back is hurting? Is it staying in a coiled position? Does it have a sore or cut? Is it's spine broken? Need more specifics.

have you dropped it, if i were you i'd take it to a vet that knows about reptiles, if you can't find one then a regular vet. maybe they can give you some ideas. just be gentle with him/her. good luck.
