I know of scale rot and RI's, things like that. What I'm really worried about is stuff like DPS, IBD, Sunshine virus ect.
I have a diamond and have heard the horror stories of all the neurological problems they can have, so I will admit I'm somewhat paranoid about it. He has exhibited some weird behavior my other snake (jungle) doesn't show. For example after eating he will wipe the sides of his snout on every surface available and sometimes he will have a little bit of a wobble, not a huge amount but just after eating he is shaking somewhat. Apart from that he's pretty normal, eats/sheds fine and is pretty friendly.
Can anyone tell me if the above behaviors are normal? I've tried googling but it was very unhelpful. Also if anyone has had any experience with these diseases and know the symptoms i'd really appreciate advice or a list of things to look out for,
Thanks,
