The only way to properly treat this is with a vet's aid. Surrender this pet if you do not want to take the responsibility but for your sanity do not get another pet from that pet store.

Good luck and I hope you can get this under control.
I appreciate the advice. It seems the best option here is to take him back to where I got him from. The store is a very reputable local place here in Austin so I believe they will do the right thing and treat him.

Just this being my first snake, buying all the new things, a vet visit/tests/antis arent in my budget right now.
