Sick baby cal.

Had him bout 1 1/2 months. Recently began acting very sluggish, and stiff when I pick him up. Reminds me of the ball pythons when they stargaze from IBD a little but idk how often kings get it. Keep his cage around 77-80 on the cool side 85-90 and has all the basics the strange thing is he eats fine! What could it be?

I'm a self-admitted moron with most things, but I have to ask, has he shed yet? My Milksnake gets like when she's going into shed mode.

Good luck and hopefully someone who knows more will have a better idea.

THAT IS TOO FREAKIN HOT!!!!, and the snake is going to die if you don't change things ASAP!!

It should be in the mid-70's or so(ambient room temp for humans), and about 83 to 86 on about 1/3rd of the enclosure ONLY!!

The temps should be accurately measured on the BOTTOM SURFACE of it's enclosure, not the air temps. Your snake is frying up man!

Cool it down to the temps I mentioned so it can get cool AND seek warmth for proper self-thermoregulation, and hopefully it can spring back to normal. You cannot let it get that warm so it cannot get away from those temps!

Yeah, that's too warm, IMO. Hopefully that's what the problem is.
