sammy snake begins with S
OH MY GOD im scared stiff, i was holding sammy last night and noticed he had some dirt under his scales. so i got hold of him so that he didnt wiggle away ( holding his head and supporting his body) and started to clean him to get the dirt from under his scales, but as i had hold of him i felt something pop in his back, it was like when ur joints click, that kind of thing, but im absolutely scared stiff that i did some damage, but a couple of seconds later he pooped all over me and sofa but my boyfriend told me it might just have been wind but i dont want to risk it...
the first thing i have done is changed the substrate as it cant be good if it is getting under his scales, and im going to take him to the vets at weekend, does anyone think that i might have broken his back or anything like that? i dont know what i would do if i found out he is in pain, his back isnt straight or anything out of the ordinay and he seemed rather jumpy afterwards as if he was nervous but that is all i couldnt see any signs of pain... but then snakes arent really well known for being the best at expressions lol
if anyone can give me some hints as to what to look out for and what they think i should do then please do im absolutely distraught, i didnt sleep at all last night from worrying for him... im taking him to the vet this weekend but then again i dont know if ishould wait till then to tak him? :shrugs: :shrugs:
