How did you notice that there was something in your BP's mouth? Was it gaping open? Swollen? Did you notice this after feeding? Do you feed your BP in his enclosure on the bedding, or do you remove him? What kind of bedding do you use? Any possibility that your BP picked up a bit of dirty bedding while feeding? So many questions, I know! I'm just trying to narrow down possibilities.

I feed him outside enclosure, mouth was open and he could not close it happened over a 24 hour period. 1 week after feeding, zila bedding darker color I don't remember the name. The dark stuff looks like bedding but not sure what white stuff is maybe infection. Coil he have swollllowed it the threw it up? I am very confused and it is my 4year olds snake I would hate to lose him. He has had mouth rot in past but got over it and doesn't look the same as last time. I was just wondering if anyone has had a problem like this.
Hmm I don't know what's going on with the photos.
I hate my phone sometimes.

Re: Mouth issues
Can you give a description of what's left (drooling, gaping, swelling, left or right side, toward the front or stuck in the throat, etc)? Have you tried swabbing with a moistened Q tip?
