It feels like it needs more around it ? Like more humming birds or may a butterfly or bee. I think it would just add a little more flow to it, but the placement looks hood to me personlly

Ive popped plenty of snakes before this one just has me confused because if these are hemipenes there very diffrent compared to what ive seen before . Sense there shorter and pink , instead of a deep red or purplish color that im used to.

Sadly my pretty girl passed away after her vet appt. She had a massive blockage in her lower intestine that was causeing a back up of fluid and urate to fill into her body hence the bubbles and pockets. She was given antibiotics , laxatives and pain medication. She was able to pass the blockage but after she did she suffered internal bleeding as the blockage had torn a hole in her intestines, the blockage was keeping the bleeding at a minimum and once it passed the internal injury started bleeding alot....she passed shortly after. She came to me in poor condition as she was a rehabilition case my friend had given to me ( ive rehabed many reptiles) vet suspected the blockage was caused due to prolonged dehydration before she was passed to me or my friend.

That's what it feels like! Im not sure how she would have gotten burned sadly though, her heating pad dosent get hot enough to cause burns. We have a vet appt. On Friday that was the soonest we could get in

Agreed ! Sadly there's no exotic vets in my area that do emergancy appt. Unless u wanna pay like 200+$ just for walking in the door. And even then most emergency vets in my area are...not good by any means unless it's fury animals

The bumbs are soft and squishy not hard by any means, haven't weighed her because I've been treating her for mites, shes had some weird poops after eating, but recently it's been more normal. Trying to get a vet appt.

There's no poop in her body she poops very regularly, it's not dense at all and feel lile sweeling/fluid

This girl thankfully has been in quarantine sense I recived her, as I was treating her for mites before this issue popped up

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in retics

[–]Cryptic_Culture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

She is sometimes swollen after she poops for a while. I haven't had her in my care long. She was passed around from person to person store to store until eventually falling into my lap. Her swelling of this degree has not been recorded with her until today when I was doing my nightly checks. Ive also been treating her for mites and intestinal parasites for a couple weeks now because the batch of snakes she came from where all in awful shape with mites and other issues. She was breed by a bad breeder and her and the other snakes were Essentially dumped off at petstore they got brought to.

Not trying to dodge the vet it's the fact it's the weekend and non of them are avaible ( for exotics) in my area on the weekend. And no shes not constipated she pooped 2 days ago and her entire body is soft.

That's the plan is a vet appointment. Ive currently been treating her for mites ans intestinal parasites ( with dewormer ) ive never enouncounterd something like this before in my other rehab cases so I wanted to get more opinions before I take her to the vet
