Neck puffing, RI and scale rot!

[Bogertophis]

I really appreciate the advice. She will be returned ASAP. I’m so upset. She’s gorgeous and very sweet but I don’t have the extra funds for this right now and I highly doubt that the breeder would pay the vet bills. I’ve never had an issue buying a snake through MM so I hope it’s not continuous with this guy.

Sad, I know. It's not the snake's fault, but this could be quite expensive to treat & even then be ineffective. The breeder most likely will try dosing her themselves. I would not buy from this seller again, ever- personally.

And it goes without saying, be careful to quarantine her from your other snakes! A few degrees of added warmth might help the RI while she's under your care.
