    Re: Ball Python Bit Itself- Is He Okay?

    Also, I would like to add- I realize these injuries are not super critical looking or don't seem to require immediate medical attention. I made this thread because these areas are still visible after months, and I feel as if that may be irregular. I'd rather be safe than sorry, of course. Thank you all for your replies so far, I'm interested to see what y'all think about the spots.
    I couldn't get a video of me lightly poking the spot, but when you do they are mushy. I'm not sure if this is just because it could be inflamed, or because of pus in the wound. I doubt it's infected as it would probably be more obvious if it was.

    Oh, sorry about that! Are you unable to view the pictures? And if so, is there any other way to post them so they are visible. I can see them on my computer, but I'm not sure for everyone else. Thanks

    Here's the link to the dropbox folder, if you can't view the pictures. The order of the pictures in the file are the same order as the pictures+captions I posted, so you can read the captions as they correspond to the pictures. (The files are named Houdini 1-16 because that's the name of my snake, in case you're wondering)

    Re: Ball Python Bit Itself- Is He Okay?

    Hmmm,

    It does seem to cover quite a large area. More so than I would have expected from things like stuck teeth etc. Maye a vet visit and a course of anti-biotics might help?

    Honestly the photo and description says infection to me. Anything that’s still inflamed after a month needs a vet.

    2.0 Checkered garter snakes - Hazama & Relius
    1.0 Dumeril's boa - Bazil
