I previously took my baby 76g yellowbelly bp from an expo straight to the vet because of a symmetrical discolored patch between the front teeth.
i took her to the vet and he informed me that it was nothing to worry about and he suggest that i pay him 120$ for a series of shots that would treat a general infection, which i declined because what if it wasnt a general infection.. (and i could buy another yb for that much)
after this i peroxided the discoloration 3x and waited.. nothing happened so i figured this guy was right.
4 months later, 120g healthy little girl.. ive been checking the sides of her mouth regularly.. today i open it with a toothpick and deep in the back of the throat is a huge black ulcer looking thing!? i tried to take a picture because its interesting an horrifying and it would help a lot but i only have two hand and shes a little piss when it comes to me deciding where she goes and when.
80$ flippin vet bill wasted
well since i live in a part of jersey where there is only 1 snake vet for 200 miles, i have to go back to the same guy, i would like to go there knowing whats wrong so he cannot rip me off, and also so i can do the best i can for my lil girl. shes eating great, (live hoppers about 15g 1x~5days)
