So I picked up a clown girl (surprise), but the box had no indication of a live reptile, and when I pulled her out, I saw that she had rubbed her nose raw. Pics below..
The guy, who will remain anonymous (if you know who it is, please do not reveal his identity), said he did not see any blood on her nose when he shipped her, however he recognized that she could have rubbed her nose..
I have the option to ship her back, but the vet said it should heal up fine. I thought the worst (mouth rot or something) but it ended up being just a rough rub. What would you do? I really want her.. She's perfect in every other way. She's sweet, curious, and obviously well-fed! She's in her tub right now resting from the stress of the trip + vet visit. I think I'm going to keep her... What would you do? I know a lot of you guys have kept snakes that came with mites.
