Hey everyone,
I am currently taking care of my husband's 4 snakes (3 BPs and a hog island) while he is gone for a few weeks/months. We recently moved (drove across the country for 5 days) and as far as we know, everything went well. They have all been eating except for our albino who is usually a great eater. I noticed when trying to feed him it's as if he is interested but just doesn't know exactly where the rat is. This is very unusual because he is usually the fastest to strike.
I thought maybe it was just from the move and he was still stressed. The strange thing is that right after my husband left I noticed that the albino's heat pits were kind of red and looked like they had dried blood on them. His nostrils (not sure what you call it!) were also a bit red with what looked like dried blood. He is also going into shed (could also be reason for not eating), but I noticed the abnormal heat pits 2 weeks before that.
He isn't mouth breathing and I don't notice any discharge or redness around his mouth. So does anyone have an idea on what this could be?![]()
