Kalatoa 100% Pure SD Retic Progression (Pic heavy...)

I would think she got the mouth rot *from* rubbing, not rubbing because of it but I know that would not be good news so I REALLY hope it's not the case. Hopefully getting this all cured up fixes the issues. She might get so grumpy with all the manhandling and gum rubbing, hopefully all goes well. That's awesome you found such a great vet, shame she's so far away. You're such a great keeper to do so much for this retic that is obviously becoming a headache. I really hope she knocks out the pushing. I wish I had more ideas to offer.

8 scales would make me think male but not for sure... eep seems like you'd need a helper to try to pop a snake that big!

Wishing you both well

Yeah my theory is that the pushing caused the mouth rot, which in turn irritated her, causing more pushing, which sustained the mouth rot, causing more irritation and pushing, creating a vicious cycle.
She certainly isn’t a fan the injections or being restrained to apply the cream to her face, but surprisingly isn’t overly grumpy afterwards. Just slithers back into the cage and sulks in the corner or on her shelf.
8scales also makes me curious if she’s male but Daniel Solis said at her size for her age he’s pretty confident it’s a female. And popping her would certainly be a two perfect or more job.
I really hope she bounces back well and knocks off the pushing, she’s doing alright so far but she did eat only 4 days ago. I’ve invested so much time, effort, and $ in this animal that I’d hate to have to rehome her. I’d be pretty crushed.
