But she ate on Saturday?

I just think she isn't meant to make it. It's really said. If it is wobble It got much worse in the 2 weeks since I had her. If it is not wobble then it is IBD and we will know more tomorrow.

She did eat on saturday thats why I was surprised to see her so messed up the next day. If you look in the video you can see she ate a small mouse.

You caused the stress and what now looks like Neurological problem. Snake thats dehydrated only needs to be fed meals and kept humid, they will drink when needed.

This is NOT IBD so for you to throw that around shows your knowledge of the disease which ive seen first hand! The snake Has the spider gene, which exaggerates the gene of their wobble and so on. On top of you forcing water into a snake! A snake will not die of thirst and drink when it needs to!

This was all caused on what you did!

Not sure why anyone would be so quick to jump into an IBD diagnosis. Unless something's changed; given the timeline, I'd have to think that a python with IBD would likely be tying itself into knots and damn near dead by now. Has there been any regurgitation? How many times did it eat before being sold? How many times has it eaten in the buyer's possession?

This seems like something that could be as simple as stress-induced exacerbation of the inherent spider wobble, or possibly even neurological issues from overheating. Either way, at a glance, it seems more likely to be a husbandry issue. I'm not seeing IBD anywhere in this. Do you plan on having a liver biopsy done during your vet. appointment?

I did not force water into the snake. I used a small piece of tubing to get some water into her mouth. That is not what caused this. Actually thats probably why she is still alive right now. She was dehydrated because when I put water onto her skin the dimples went away. What stress did I cause her to make her neurological problem worse? When I got the package from rob the temperature was 110 degrees inside the box I check it with my IR gun could that have been it? She seemed ok when I got her even with the 110 degree temp

Why would you not just wait until the vet visit and then discuss the issue. Instead you are throwing around words like IBD and chargeback, it makes you appear not very knowledgeable and a difficult customer. I think you will find that there may be vendors who will simply prefer not to do business with you after this.

Why did you not mention that in the OP or to Rob?? Seems kind of important...

She ate for me twice fresh killed and then frozen thawed. I was trying to transition her to frozen thawed. She was without heat for a day or so while i was getting her set up.
