    *HELP* Ball Python ooze coming from mouth *HELP*

    He just started recently doing this. Do you know what it is? I'm very worried.

    that doesn't look like a RI... Our Burmese did this the night before he passed though. A RI should be clear white bubbles right?

    I mean it could be a severe RI, but he said recently so idk...

    that appears to be blood, and like I said our Burmese did this right before he passed.

    That looks like an infected abcess in his mouth. Needs to get to a vet ASAP.

    I've had burms with recent RI symptoms have a little blood in the mucous. They were treated with meds and were fine.

    I'd say for now, bump your temps up a couple degrees, and call your vet in the morning.

    Oohh I didn't think of that one. Maybe gently pry the mouth open and see what you can see?

    Our first burm just couldn't make it and she passed on the third night we have her, she had mouth rot, a RI and blood coming from her mouth, so I jump the gun to vet when I see blood. better safe then sorry IMO.

    and I also agree, up those temps a bit, but remember, don't trust our advice over a vets advice.

    That sucks, I'm so sorry :'(

    I too agree with better safe than sorry, but I also didn't want the OP freaking out thinking HIS snake was going to die, know what I mean?
