Problem with my three year old Bci Leroy

[Dutti]

So we had our appointment with the second vet. I drove over an hour to see this Vet, because he has 30 years experience with birds and snakes. He is a specialist in Exotics. I drove past six other vets to get to him. The diagnosis was the same. No injury to the mouth. or bones. The lump is hard and does not move, so no infection. No treatment options available.

Injury most likely cosmetic only. My snake should not be in any pain, and will likely be unaffected by the lump. The lump may or may not heal, but if it does heal it will take a long time.

I should watch the injury to make sure there is no change. Otherwise he says Leroy is perfect.

Thanks for the help.

That,s good news. You know now that he is ok. Try to feed him rats instead of mice. Maybe he will refuse at first but he will eat at the end. Mice are too small for 3 year old BCI. Feed bigger size meal and less frequent. My 18 months old male BCI ate last time a live jumbo rat (411 grams). I,m telling you this so you can have an idea what BCI,s are capable of. I,m sure that your BCI can take medium rats.
