Hello!
Today I traded a Leo I had for a Super Pastel female. My bf picked her up so I didnt get to inspect her until he got home and when he got here, we noticed she has a hole in what im assuming is her "belly button" area. Its a small hole when shes relaxed, but it opens a very concerning amount when shes moving. Ive searched everywhere online and cannot find anything about this. To me, it looks like an umbilicus that never closed. I'm worried about hernias or prolapses or whatever could possibly go wrong with a hole in her belly.
Also, she seems to have something going on with her mouth. I assumed mouth rot or scale rot, but nothing I see for either of those look exactly like she has. She yawned and everything looked the normal pale pink. No nasty pus, no bubbles, no discoloration. I don't hear or see her do the things mentioned when they get RIs. I've been stumped So I located and found the lady she was bred by and she was absolutely no help at all. I assumed she would be concerned about a snake she produced, but she answered me with short sentences and then completely ignored me after I showed her pictures and said something was wrong with her mouth as well. She said she never seen it before, which is impossible if this is an open umbilicus or something of the sort. Showed me instantly what kind of breeder she was. And I didn't bother to continue contacting her.
We will be calling the vet tomorrow and going to get her seen asap, but I just wanted to see if anyone had any idea on what these two things are while I sit here tonight and worry about it. She is very healthy besides those two things.
On a side note, the guy that had her before me told me her last shed, a month ago, was really bad because he had "humidity issues". So I don't know if the mouth could be a result of a bad shed or excessive rubbing? Also, when my bf picked her up, he said the guy literally had dual dome lamps hanging INSIDE the enclosure. Below the lid. I cant even imagine how, but I was also thinking of a possible burn from that? I'm dying to have her seen to see if anything can be done about it all.
This is her and some pictures of it.
