Sorry to say, but yeah, it looks like an abscess & this is a typical way that snakes get them, & yes, on their face/nose area. DO see a vet, but also you need to makeOriginally Posted by dkatz4
Now I am freaking out that he may have developed an abscess
i guess I'll call some vets tomorrow, but I am really really worried at the prospect of the cost. On the other hand, most of my stress is stemming form facebook comments on my post so maybe those people are prone to overreaction (???) what do we think, i know the pics are not the best
sure it doesn't keep happening. You may know that in snakes, pus that forms is mostly solid & does NOT drain without medical help (from your vet). It's not too bad
yet...these can get far worse & jeopardize your snake's life, because this infection is on their head (hint, near the brain & vital functions), so it's not to be ignored. I hope
you can figure out how to house him so he does not continue to do this...he has to heal.
