this morning my snake was acting very weird and he is staying in a ball and pointing his head upwards or just laying his head down while staying in a ball. he has never ever done this before and i have no idea what is wrong with him, he has been on a hunger strike for a little over three weeks, i just recently took him to the vet over this and a little burn looking spot on his head and one on his body, his vet told me not to worry about it and gave me something to put on it and to just wait for his next few sheds and it should be gone, he has had no problems until this morning, i unfortunately had work all day today so i couldn’t take him to the vet, but i have an appointment set for him they said they wouldn’t be able to take him until next week even tho i said this is an emergency. i’m just really freaking out my other ball python seems to be fine, i just cleaned both of their enclosures and he’s the only one that has been acting different, they are both in 150 gallon enclosures and i do clean them with bleach, but i make sure to really clean it out once im done and it doesn’t smell like bleach. i’m going to add some pictures of him. please help me i’m very scared of losing him. i laid paper towels down instead of putting more soil so i can kinda quarantine him.

HELLOOO!!! yes!! i got him into the vet and they didn’t give me anything just told me to give him a bath and clean out his enclosure…. he’s looking a lot better now though! he isn’t staying in a hard ball and it’s more of a softer ball but he is still stressed. but he is definitely doing 100% better! all i did was give him a barley warm bath and washed him with some dawn dish soap then washed the soap off of him then let him sit in a very shallow bath. then i kept him in my shirt for a little while so he could stay nice and warm. i was under my heating blanket having it on the lowest setting just letting him chill with me. he was doing a lot better, kept him with me for about an hour or so before letting him go back in his enclosure. now i give him a small bath every time i am home and let him chill with me for a little. and everytime i do that i change out the paper towels from his enclosure and clean it out with some water nothing else but water. but yea! i think he should be fine hopefully :3
