Why is my snake spitting up water and sleeping in its water dish?

Thanks for reaching out about Sylas. Was this the first time for regurgitation? If so, give the gastrointestinal tract a few days rest and try re-feeding. If regurgitates again, a veterinary visit is recommended. Intestinal parasites or infections are not uncommon. Systemic illnesses or husbandry problems (too cold) or diet problems (prey too cold or overheated) are also possible. Discuss your snake's husbandry and diet routine with your veterinarian. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Kernel. Regurgitation can be due to stress or disease. If the fuzzy was not fully thawed, Kernel might has regurgitated due to the cold. Sub-standard husbandry (too cold environment) can also lead to this condition. Diseases such as infections or parasites need to be investigated. A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Good luck.

Thanks for reaching out about Salem and including a photo. Intestinal infections or parasites, gastrointestinal obstructions, metabolic disorders or toxicities can all cause regurgitation. Could the mite medication be causing problems? A veterinary visit is recommended to assess and provide a diagnostic/treatment plan. Check and correct husbandry. Good luck.

Have him examined by an experienced herp vet to diagnose medical causes (mites, infection, neurologic disorder, etc.). Confirm proper environmental parameters. Survey the area around his enclosure for negative stimuli such as loud noises/vibrations or bright lights. Reduce or remove any negative stimuli if possible. Soak him in warm water to remove any residual prey odor.

The changes to his enclosure may have caused stress. Low temps can affect digestion in reptiles. If temps were down, this could affect defecation. Try soaking him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte for 20-30 minutes. This will provide warmth and hydration. To stimulate defecation, gently massage the belly from front to back during the soak. If the behavior persists, consider an exam with your veterinarian or vet experienced in treating reptiles.

Check her mouth for foreign bodies, injury or infection if she allows. Monitor for persistent or worsening symptoms and have her examined by your vet or a vet experienced in treating reptiles if necessary. If she is behaving and eating normally otherwise, it may be simply something unique she does.

This is a cloacal prolapse that you are seeing. The cloaca is the common tube where all the feces, urine and reproductive tracts meet and is just inside the opening there. This can happen in a few different cases such as stones in the urine or stool, or egg binding if Titan was mature a female. If you have not seen Titan shed and he/she has not been defecating regularly, then I would be suspicious of dehydration. If Titan came from the wild, then parasites would also be a suspicion. The humidity should be good in your area, but I would ensure the humidity is at least 60%. If you don't have a hygrometer, then this can be purchased from the pet store. The best this you can do is take Titan to a reptile vet for an exam. There may be something going on that you would not be able to correct at home. For now, I would soak Titan in warm water for 15-30 minutes a day. I've put a link to a video that shows how to soak a snake. Make sure Titan also has an area in the enclosure where he/she can soak as wanted. To ensure everything else is being done right I've also included a link to great information about python care. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmgYm-GghM8 http://www.anapsid.org/ball.html I hope that helps and Titan gets better soon.
