When you mentioned she was diagnosed with stomatitis, all I remember you saying was that there was a little blood in her mouth. That's not enough to diagnose stomatitis- or was there another occasion? As I recall you said your vet assumed the blood was the result of stomatitis (the way bleeding gums indicate gingivitis in humans?). What puzzles me is that you seem determined to assume the most negative explanations, whereas most people that love their pets look for more optimistic answers.I'm all for being "realistic" but, what gives?
You also said she has poor muscle tone, & if that's her enclosure, I can see why. There's not much there for her to grip on- no branches, just slippery furnishings & slippery substrate? You can do much better...IMO. Sources say these are partly arboreal & enjoy climbing trees. But she has nothing??? Inactive creatures of any kind don't keep good muscle tone, & that enclosure sure wouldn't inspire me, if I was a snake.
And her hides sure don't look at all "cozy"- with the huge doors & high ceilings. What are the warmest areas? Is that where she tends to sit? Maybe you need to design her home better, so her "warm area" & "the cooler area" are equally comfortable & appealing. As I previously said, a snake that is "kept" too warm, OR one that chooses for other reasons to be too warm could easily be metabolizing her food too quickly & need to eat more food, or to eat more often. Please consider that. It makes more sense than a "mystery illness" your vet can't find.
If you're just thinking so negatively because for whatever reasons you're tired of keeping this snake, hey, it happens- many others would be PROUD to own this beautiful & uncommon snake. She has a lovely mouth, by the way.
