Red ring on tail after shed?
Hi guys,
I have a banana Mojave male about 600g who shed last night but now she has a red ring on his tail about 5mm from the tip, it looks as if he had an elastic band on it, any ideas? I have booked him in with the vet tomorrow morning. I will post some pics when i get chance. My problem is i dont have a proper reptile vet near me so wanted to get some idea so i can point them in the right direction.
Thanks guys.

Sounds like there been a few images tips left that hasn't been noticed, this can be as bad as unshed eye caps, that should always be checked as it can cut circulation off if too many left on like an elastic band would be, any pics?

Hi, i cant do pics yet as not at home but as soon as i get home.
I have only had the snake for about 2 months but his tail does look like it is slightly shriveled so the shed thing would make sense, i didnt notice it when i bought him as i was over excited about getting a new snake lol.
If it is that will he need it amputated or is there something the vet can do?
Thanks for replying.

Sorry ment shed tail tips not images, stupid phone autocorrected it, lol
I always use Tapatalk to upload pics, far quicker and easier.
It can be quite see thru some times and not always noticeable, but snakes have been known to loose the tail tips in really severe cases, post some pics when you can
