Got him to the vet this morning. He has pneumonia. As for the deformed jaw......he's just holding it funny because he has dried gunk all over. She got some of it off but we'll continue to soak him every day or two. I have had many snakes over the last 15 years and am comfortable with his setup. If it was a wood burning fireplace I would NOT put him up there but it's not. There is no smoke or anything, it just stays a nice temp.

I talked to her about the culture and she said they could do it but it wouldn't help much because the infection is way down in his lungs. She said there is no guarantee that the bacteria they find is from his lungs and not from crap on his lip (Outside sources).

We have him on Baytril and we'll see how that goes. If he gets better then we will put him on some wormer just to be careful. She does want a fecal sample but it will be awhile since he hasn't eaten in about 6 weeks. His teeth are still there....I really thought they were missing. I hate messing with his mouth too much though as I'm sure it's very sore. I hadn't wanted to look any harder.
