    Rescued female brb

    I just got the brb female with the wound. SHe already ate 1 juvie chick. She ate aggresively. The necrotic part of the has come off after her shed. Heres the pic.


    How many of you guys tried probing your brb? How deep did it go? I tried probing mine, it goes down 4 sub-caudal scales. Is it really a female or a male?

    Relax, it only looks like that because it's healing. She just shed. The tail had necrotic tissue on the tail from the previous owners neglect.

    OP, keep her enclosure cleeean! I would second a vet, but I know that's not an option in your area right now, so her getting infected isn't an option for you! Treat her right!

    I agree. And I know the OP was advised in the previous thread to walk away, but if there are no vets in his area, I honestly feel better about the animal being in his care, than the care of the owner who put her in this situation. At least the OP wants to try and fix this.

    Rescued female brb

    I have had a severly injured snake, actually i still have her and shes doing great. When she shed all her wounds opened up and looked like that. The vet did nothing for us, actually might have made it worse, we then consulted the reptile vet from the local zoo and he referred us to our friend who runs the local reptile store. So yea vet is not always the best anyway. I agree keep her cage sterile and see if you cant get ur hands on some antibiotics to prevent infection. Maybe consult a vet on the phone if physically visiting one is not an option. But like I said in my situation the vet did nothing and I can get all the meds I need through my friend.
