    Red vent and mouth

    I notice this when i receive the snake 2 weeks ago. The pastel butter girl is around 380grams and pounded a rat pup last week. She seems to be extra active compare to my other girls, its been 5 days since last feed and the past two days i can always see her trying to get out of the rack at night. Urinated but have not pooped. She did have a bad shed at the breeder though. Her vents are really red and has what appear to be little piece of stuck skin. I didn't think much of this at first because when i receive my other bumblebee girl she was a little red around the vent too but it clean up after a shed however the bumblbee wasn't as red as this girl. I'm wondering if this is cause by rubbing on the tub too much or from stuck shed or if its something much more serious. here's the best picture i could manage to take. my hot side is at around 90 and cold side 80 humidity is in the 50-60 range

    The face just looks like some nose rub from being so active, but without seeing the vent it's hard to say for sure what could be causing that. If you could post a picture of the vent as well, that may help.

    Re: Red vent and mouth

    Well most people refer to the cloaca as the vent. I believe that is the confusion

    Exactly.. The vent is the cloaca.. The holes around the mouth are the heat PITS.

    No no.. That's what the confusion was about. The vent on the OPs snake is fine. I'm pretty they are asking if they should take a better picture of the gear pits to show us.

    I don't think anyone's going to be able to solve this issue. If it doesn't get better quickly on its own the snake may need to see a vet.
