I need help
Hi,I’ve had this male for a few months now, when he was bought he had a some what chubby face but nothing the vet was concerned about when I first took him in to be looked over, a month later he had gotten a heck of a lot worse so I isolated him from everyone else and took him to the vet, they said it wasn’t ri or mouth rott they thought it was an abscess , so we got injections and sent home, few weeks later wasn’t any better so we made another trip into the vet, same thing just a diff medication, STILL NOTHING! No change , I’m at a loss and don’t know what else to do for him , he’s about 4 , weighs 1334 grams , in rack system , hot spot of 90, never misses a meal has perfect sheds, hasn’t lost weight, I’ll insert pictures. Please any suggestions would be great! Nothing rude I understand people will be but I’m just here for help.

If it's a deep abscess it may need surgery to correct and remove the pocket of infection.

I’m hopeful that people are nicer here, I’d tried to get help on a local reptile group, failed to do so

Re: I need help
Oh wow, poor guy. I'm sure someone with more experience will chime in soon, as all I can think of after seeing the photos is the likelihood that this is a surgical issue. Have they done any imaging? Is the vet you're taking him to an exotic vet with experience with snakes?

Oh that poor sweet baby. That looks like an abscess. I'm no vet but I would not take no for an answer. That's not normal. That looks like a huge infection to me. That makes me want to cry. That sweet baby needs a good vet.
