To determine if your pet snake is sick, you can look out for the following signs:

  1. Changes in appetite - Loss of appetite or sudden increase in appetite.
  2. Changes in behavior - Unusual lethargy, restlessness, or aggression.
  3. Changes in skin - Abnormal shedding, discoloration, or sores on the skin.
  4. Respiratory issues - Wheezing, gasping, or mucus around the mouth.
  5. Changes in feces - Diarrhea, unusual color, or consistency.
  6. Weight loss or sudden weight gain.
  7. Lumps or bumps on the body. If you notice any of these signs, it's best to consult a veterinarian who specializes in exotic pets like snakes for a proper diagnosis and treatment.
