hi, are snake has been acting rather odd reasently. we redid his tank (new substrate, cleaned the glass and bottom, disinfected the hides/ojects in it) we were putting the light back in but it blew so we could not get a light for atleast two weeks in
The changes to his enclosure may have caused stress. Low temps can affect digestion in reptiles. If temps were down, this could affect defecation. Try soaking him in a warm 50/50 solution of water and unflavored PediaLyte for 20-30 minutes. This will provide warmth and hydration. To stimulate defecation, gently massage the belly from front to back during the soak. If the behavior persists, consider an exam with your veterinarian or vet experienced in treating reptiles.

How should you care for your reptile during a power outage?
Here are some tips on how to care for pets who require continuous heat, such as reptiles and snakes: - Before a power outage, if possible, buy a generator. This will allow you to keep your reptiles warm during the outage. - Amphibians will do okay without heat for a period of time. Try to limit the number of times you open the habitat. - For a heat source, you can go to your local sporting goods store and purchase the heat packs used to warm feet and hands. These can be placed underneath the habitat (just like you would place an electric heating pad). This will allow your reptile to get heat. Do not put the pack into habitat with the reptile. - Another way to warm cold reptiles is to use a pillowcase. Place the reptile gently in the case and place the pillowcase next to your body under your shirt for warmth. - Pillow cases can also be used to transport reptiles if needed. - Do not feed your reptile as they need heat to digest their food. - You can save plastic milk

Titan has not been sexed yet, but has been eating. Titan has not shed yet and we have had the snake for approximately 2 months now. This happens before defecation, stools have been normal since the last time this has happened. Titan has regurgitated
This is a cloacal prolapse that you are seeing. The cloaca is the common tube where all the feces, urine and reproductive tracts meet and is just inside the opening there. This can happen in a few different cases such as stones in the urine or stool, or egg binding if Titan was mature a female. If you have not seen Titan shed and he/she has not been defecating regularly, then I would be suspicious of dehydration. If Titan came from the wild, then parasites would also be a suspicion. The humidity should be good in your area, but I would ensure the humidity is at least 60%. If you don't have a hygrometer, then this can be purchased from the pet store. The best this you can do is take Titan to a reptile vet for an exam. There may be something going on that you would not be able to correct at home. For now, I would soak Titan in warm water for 15-30 minutes a day. I've put a link to a video that shows how to soak a snake. Make sure Titan also has an area in the enclosure

My snake has not eaten in three weeks and her left eye ball looks like it’s growing slightly bigger than her right. Please help
The swelling of the eye may be cause for concern. An image would help if you can add one in another post. It could be infection or trauma which should be addressed by your veterinarian or a vet experienced in treating reptiles. In the meantime, confirm proper environmental parameters, especially temperature. Low temps can affect appetite in reptiles. Survey the area in and around the enclosure for any negative stimuli. This may include loud noises, strong vibrations, bright lights or high traffic. Reduce or eliminate any if possible. Cover the cage for added privacy when offering prey. If you feed frozen/thawed, be sure it is sufficiently warmed. A snake will not eat cold prey. Do not use the microwave to thaw prey.

Check the temperature in their enclosures. Low temps can affect appetite and activity in reptiles. If you keep them in the same enclosure, consider housing them separately to avoid stress or aggression. Survey the area in and around the enclosures for any negative stimuli. This may include loud noises, strong vibrations, bright lights, cold drafts or high traffic. Reduce or eliminate any if found. Letting them out on the lawn or in the garden is not recommended as they could escape, get injured or pick up parasites.
