New male burm has funny looking snoot???

Would it hurt to put neosporin on it or any other suggestions?

An update, I soaked him and the Brown is not coming off his lip and I’m stressed out about possibly mouth rot . Inside mouth is normal should I get some beta done and use a q tip on it

I would not do anything right now. Your stressed and as you mentioned he is going onto shed. Let him shed first. If it was RI symptoms that would be one thing, but anything else can wait till sheds done and a good evaluation can take place. Relax nothing bad will happen fast. Dont use things your not sure he needs

Go to the vet. I assume you already have a vet? If not, that is the first thing to do when you own reptiles, find a good vet who knows what he/she is doing. Take the snake in. An office visit should be like $50 and the vet can tell you whats going on vs all us armchair vets on the internet lol.

I recently noticed the same thing with my Pearl, but to a lesser degree.

Do you notice this after feeding? The reason I ask is because the discoloration appeared on my Burm's snout, lower lip and side after feeding. I believe it was dried blood from constricting and swallowing a frozen thawed rat as the rat's nose was bleeding over the paper plate throughout the process.

It came off after a warm bath though. This may be the case with your snake but I'm far from an expert on these things.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...2864f890ec.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...8accbd2fbc.jpg

He said it doesnt come off. My retic gets blood on himself a lot from rats and guinea pigs but after a big drink and sloshing in water bowl of his face, it is all clean. Like i said, the brown stuff that doesnt come off along with a funky closing mouth would make worried, especially if you just got the snake. I would be worried about it having something and my other snakes somehow getting it. I hope you are quarantining and get it to the vet.

Just as an update I have been doing gold listerine on a q tip and the brown crap is ALL gone on lip. Stuff is amazing. Now once he sheds swelling should go down and ile have my normal steam pot back lol

Update lol he shed for me today and his mouth looks 10000000 times better[emoji323]. Gave me a nice poop to lol. Now the only flaw I can see are a few scales have a red tinge to them(see photo) I am assuming this if from his mite issue he had when I bought him.(have since been killed dead !. I feel I am in the clear just want some peoples opnionshttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...6efceaa507.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...ea14e02ea2.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...beabed61c5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...a154d3c338.jpg
