On another list there is a girl who bought two baby balls from someone at a show. One had lumps on it, and the seller said they were just scars. So they picked that one because they felt sorry for it and picked out another one.

People told this girl to take them to a vet. Today said girl posted that they went to the vet and they had ticks, so they got meds for that. Also they got Baytril for the lumps, and the vet took a sample of one of the lumps and sent it off to a lab. The lab work came back and the vet told this girl that the snakes have "Enterobacter Cloacae". The vet also said the meds will make the lumps get worse before getting better. Oh yes, both snakes have horrible lumps now all over them.



So just in the world do these snakes have? I've never heard of "Enterobacter Cloacae" before. I told her to join here and ask, but she has yet to do so. No one on this other list knows what it is, etc.


I'm courious to learn about this and to be able to give info back to this girl I'm pretty mad that some vendor at a reptile show would sell these snakes KNOWING they had problems and lie about what they had.
