Oh that poor girl!!! She's in good hands though so will bounce back.
Deep breaths Miss Anya, it'll pass and all will be better.

Oh No! Poor Marcie. I hope she gets better soon. I'm sure this is very stressful for you and her.

I don't, no. I bought her second hand (lol) from a family who bought her from a very good locally owned pet store that breeds their own in a nice facility. I think highly of them, so I'm doubting this is something that could have been prevented with better breeding...I think it's more likely that the infection was resistant to the particular antibiotic, and remained hidden only to pounce again.
We'll see what the doc says tomorrow.
Thanks everyone. I'll try and post some pix tomorrow.

She goes through stages in the year where she is more motivated to try to escape and relentlessly tries.
She has been doing it recently again and they have swollen up. Shes currently about to lay mid june so I understand the angst, she probably wants to find a spot more to her choosing then mine.
She always has marks now under her chin, sometimes they are black(mid process of healing) or if they've healed and had a few sheds it goes almost back to normal but with slight scar/discoloration.Even since changing tubs to something with less of a lip to wedge, she still manages to get them to flare up now and again.
Shes done this for several years now, with no ill effects.
Just my .02. Will post pictures for reference if you'd like

Anya, I hope she feels better for you soon.
I know the first quote is a few months old but my questions to this overall is if the snake is in need of more space? Perhaps some snakes/BPs are in need of more space or different "furniture" in their enclosure. Granted you may have the "typical" BP setup, but perhaps some snakes/BPs/individuals need/want more than they are given? I'm saying what you are giving that particular individual might not be enough for them. Just a thought and something to experiment with.
Of course, your snakes might be like my dog and "allergic" to "everything" so you want to find the least common denominator in terms of causing injury/general "itchiness"/agitation for the snake.
