Abstract

Yolk binding is a condition where the egg yolk as food reserves while the snake still in the egg phase is not
completely absorbed in the snake’s body when the snake has become neonatal. This study aims to
determine the handling of cases of yolk binding in Python reticulatus. A 3-month-old female Python
reticulatus was brought by the owner to the vet with complaints of not defecating after ten days from the
last feeding on and the presence of a ¼ lump from the caudal. The results of the stool examination
showed the number of protozoa. The x-ray results, show the air-filled medial with radiolucent color
intensity and a mass with radioopaque color intensity. Based on the signals, history, physical examination,
and investigations, a diagnosis of yolk binding was obtained. The treatment given is surgery, drug therapy,
and post-operative care. After being brought home, five days after surgery snake died.
