Oh geez im so sorry, i cant seem to get those pics to upload so i took new ones. lets try that again shall we?
called him back up, brought him back in. he says he's "fine", and that the rubbing was him trying to shed. Um no. Ive been keeping snakes the majority of my life. I have 13 ball pythons and I think I know what shedding looks like. He isnt even "in blue".
Anyways, as you can see in the pictures here, his gums arent swollen, and an exam of his mouth does look fine. It looks to me though that something is definitely going on in the snout. It looked swollen between the nose and eye before (although that admittedly looks better this morning), I definitely see some redness/ rawness? and I think there is some discharge coming from the nose. Dont hear any wheez or pop though. Husbandry checks out (its automated but i checked). Anyway. I just really dont think he's "fine". That nose doesnt seem "fine" to me, am I just being paranoid?
