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

Finally got the rest of my Ceftazidime for Phyllis from the vet. She hates all of this so much but is being as good a sport as she can. Also going into shed right now. Hoping for some good healing action during her shed cycle.
Also, Animal Plastics FINALLY got back to me almost a month after asking for a quote on a modular 8’ cage. They won’t/can’t do expandable/connecting cages. Guess I’ll eventually build Phyllis a mammoth enclosure 8’x3’x2’.

Seems very strange as your not asking for some crazy design.

Right?! I think it has more to do with their current work load and lead times. I’d love to continue supporting their business but I want an 8’ cage and there’s no way in hell I can get that into it out of the snake room once assembled. Really hoping that once Phyllis’s face is healed up she’ll stop pushing so much and maybe I won’t need an 8’ cage.

Have you checked out Serpentine Obsessions they have gorgeous pvc enclosure as well maybe they can help? Glad Phyllis is going along as well as can be expected, best wishes always

Their cages are beautiful! However the 8 footers are significantly more expensive than AP cages and not offered in a 2’ height either. I’m going to try and hold off on cage upgrades until her face is healed and see if she even needs a much bigger cage. Gerald definitely needs a bigger enclosure so that I can give his cage to the boa constrictor though

She really hates the twice daily mouth cleaning. She’s pissed on me at least three times in protest. Still super swollen top lips but it seems, I think, that the lesions are healing up. Supposed to keep applying the silver silvadiazine cream twice a day until it’s healed. 5 more rounds of fortaz injections to go. Those are getting slightly easier but still are a challenge to do solo. She’s in shed right now and hasn’t really pushed much if at all since having gone to the vet.
Still a bummer to see her looking the way she does but at least she’s not activity destroying herself at the moment so I guess that’s a positive development. Once she starts taking food again, hopefully after she sheds, I’ll offer a sizeable rat and then I’ve got 4-5.5lb rabbits to offer as well. Chest freezer was a great investment

How's queen Phyllis doing?

Thanks for checking in. Just gave her the 4th of 7 rounds of fortaz injections right now. Man she hates those.
Aside from that I did find two broken loose teeth and pulled them. One on both sides of her top gums a few days ago when applying her silver sulfadiazine cream. Looks like things are healing up. She’s also deeeeep in shed and hasn’t pushed at all in like two weeks so that helps minimize some facial trauma from flaring up.
Hopefully after she sheds she’ll have an appetite again. I think her face just hurt too much to eat last time I offered. I’ll offer either jumbo or colossal rat, and then slowly work up to the 4lb rabbit I’ve got on deck. Want her to be pretty well healed before giving prey that big
