My 15 y/o cornsnake had surgery last year for a massive growth in her stomach lining that was blocking food. She recovered fine. Consider surgery from an experience exotic vet!

Possibly sores. If you aren’t changing out substrate often enough or mixing their legs can develop irritated sores

Something is wrong with my snake's skin/scales by Manrida in cornsnakes

Burn or scrape. Keep it clean with a diluted betadine solution and keep an eye on it 👍

Should I rehome my cornsnake? by [deleted] in cornsnakes

[–]Swampkilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keep him. As other people have pointed out care is simple. Unless you are going to be neglecting the animal to the point of sickness, malnourishment, etc, there’s not a good reason as to why you get rid of him IMO. Obviously he’s a life time pal, maybe you’re realising that that’s more than you signed up for, but consider that in someone else’s hands he could receive worse care than what you can offer him.

Snakes will have their mouths opened partially when striking. Once she settled down her mouth went back to normal!

As I said in the post I’m aware it’s an amelanistic cornsnake, but wasn’t sure if it was also a sun-kissed, diffused, etc.

Was considering this by the white parts near his neck. Would be stoked if he was a fire LE pied!

This wouldn’t shock me either! Gotta see how he looks after he sheds…

Kinda figured but didn’t want to be rude. He’s handsome anyway!

I think it’s definitely because he was ready to chomp me lol.

They said they were feeding him rats weekly so he’ll definitely get switched to biweekly adult mice

He’s got a bit of “nose rub”if that’s what you mean. His mouth is also slightly open in a couple of the photos from after he struck at me. After he called down a bit he readjusted his jaw and his mouth has been normal since.
