If you are a novice owner of a pet snake, you may be surprised to know that your snake can get sick too. The interesting thing is, since snakes move slowly, it may be hard for you to determine when they are sick as most often than not, they will not show signs right away.
The signs and symptoms may be different according to the type of snake that you have. You will have to be observant of your snake’s behavior to prevent any serious medical issues that may arise.
In general, you can tell your snake is sick if he shows one or more of the following signs:
●Listless and coils up, hides, or buries himself.
●Loss of appetite and weight loss
●Dry skin, deep, sunken eyes
●Incomplete shedding of the skin
●Swelling and soreness near the mouth
