is this bone disease and how fatal is it to the snake ?

[nightingale2k1]

Hi,

I just got a picture albino lavender kingsnake (stripped) from a seller. We almost done the transaction but I notice it has bone disease (the bone in the tail are not right, a little bit bumpy)



the snake still eating live mice at the moment .. but I'm worried, is this disease fatal to the snake ? is it possible to cure the disease ? is this MBD ?

please let me know ... whether it possible to be cured or not.

It's not a lavender, it's a normal albino.

What ever it's got it does not look good. I'd take a pass on this one.

is it possible to cure that bone ?

Nope. Damage done, if it is damage to the bone, is permanent. The snake might live a long time and have no problems, it may have had whatever it's got for quite some time, but I'd still take a pass on that one.
