I contacted the seller but I have no idea who the breeder is, because they import the snakes from them. I am very sad and disappointed with this guy because as I said, he has been really nice to me and he did appear concerned when I told him about the skin issue. Now I can’t help but think that he knew all along and is pretending not to know what the problem is.
Do you have any suggestion for thermostats or dimmers I could use for the UTH?
I also thought it could be a healed injury, but its container looked fine. It was a plastic round box with holes and didn’t appear to have any sharp edges.
It came out of the box like that and I noticed it when I put him on his enclosure. He was very active and I could see his belly and sides. Everything seems ok with the rest of his body except for that part. I don’t have a thermostat yet, but the substrate is pretty dense in that area. I’ve touched where he sleeps and it’s just a bit warm. That’s why I also added the day light in case the UTH wasn’t enough.
Thanks for all the suggestions!
I already made an appointment with a vet that is specialized in reptiles and snakes. Unfortunately he was only available on Tuesday so I’m going to have to wait a bit.
