WTH does he has!?

[Dcommander]

OK I have a male BP, he's young, around 4-5 months. His setup was a little too humid, and today, I came to check him (wich I do everyday) and he has some strange fricin bumps near his neck! They only appeared there! Ideas on what could it be and how can I cure him? This is a pair of pics, not really good tho...
BTW there are no snake vets in my country...

hmm..two things come to mind..

Could be a shed.

Could be burns from a heat lamp.

What country do you live in? Looks kinda like a burn to me.

[tjteach14]

In the second pic his eyes look dull like he is going in to shed. If this is so then the bumps could just be from the shedding.



my 2 cents...

[Dcommander]

It's not a burn as he has no possible contact qith the lamp, its outside of the enclosure... I live in Costa Rica, Central America, so my local temps and humidity are really close to what they need, just some minor adjustments. Is it normal for BP's to get pellet-like bumps in them while shedding? I own 4 boas and have never seen this ion almost 3 years :S

Thanks a lot for all your help, I hope u guys can figure something out

Is he a new snake in your collection? My first thought when I saw the second pic was that maybe they're ticks? But I assume that you've looked at them close enough to tell if those are ticks or not.

[Dcommander]

no they're not ticks, they're inside the epidermis, like in the dermis area (inside the skin, like between flesh and skin)... Yes he is new, he has beeen here for about 2 months, and hast shed

Is it possible he was a wild caught snake? I am thinking its some blisters under the skin infection.

[rabernet]

They look like blisters to me - and having not had any, I'm not sure what to recommend for taking care of them. I'd be going to a vet, but you say you don't have that option.

Are they hard or do they seem to be filled with fluid? I saw something similar once with a snake that had scale rot (it had the scale rot when I obtained it). The bumps were actually filled with a clear fluid. The bumps were drained and cleaned with chlorhexadine/novalsan and then kept dry (if they filled back up they were drained and cleaned again). After about 2 sheds they went away and the scale rot cleared up.
