Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Help me please!!!
I have had many numerous snakes in my live never had one do this. I got a green anaconda in on Tuesday evening. She seemed fined. Idid not mess with her much just put her in a set up to settle in for a few days. Thursday I look in on her and she had what look like a real small bowle movement and some urine. Friday I look in on her and get her out and she is lathargic and twists herself up. If you put her down she will untwist herself and look fine (but not really able to move). As soon as you pick her up she twists all up like she cannot control it. There also has been lots wet matter coming out her tail. Almost like she is urinating but she has done it 4 or 5 times just last night. I do have pics if that would help.

Billie,
I would suggest taking her to a vet immediately without fail. There really is nothing anyone on here will be able to offer you as for help other than that. I wish you the best of luck with the animal.

Vet
Thanks for the reply Rob. I have already contacted the vet that sees exotics. He is out and I cannot get her in til Monday. I have her soaking in warm water to try and relax her. I am keeping a watchful eye on her. I would just like to say that I have only had this snake 3 days and I have falling in love with her she is a very beautiful snake. Yes I did pay a chunk of change for her but that is not the issue to me her health is. Please keep her in your thoughts till I can get her into the vet Monday.
thank you,
Billie.

Billie,
A few management things things that immediately come to mind.
First what kind of a set-up are you using and what's the temperature you are keeping her at? Careful with the warm water!
Secondly, has she been treated for mites at all? Check with the person you bought her from to see if she has been treated recently. One way or the other that's one of the first things the vet is going to ask you and you need to give him as much background info as possible.
Do you use any vapona-like strips in your snake room or enclosure?
If is wooden, have you recently painted the enclosure?
Please keep us posted!

Billie,
One other thing, what substarte are you using? I would assume she is a baby anaconda. Please allow enough temperature gradient for her to thermorregulate. Excess heat can do that to snakes. If that's the case I'm afraid prognosis is not very good (although with time some cases do recover). If it's intoxication by any of the other chemicals (paint, mite treatment, etc.) the vet will probably suggest atropine sulphate (injectable). If the damage to the central nervous system has not been extensive she can probably recover. Don't forget to get as much information as possible from the place you bought her. This will be critical for your vet to be able to help her out.
Kindly.

Am I missing something here????
Billie..., all advise before is just all fine for the snake you bought, I am wondering who you bought the animal from and what kind of guarantee did you get?? and are other snakes in the same room ??
Here is my problem , what if the snake has some disease and this person is spreading around whatever pathogen your snake could possibly have to other consumers.
What if these other consumers lose their collections.......Hmmmm
I assume you isolated the snake from your collection
Did you contact the seller??
