https://forums.kingsnake.com/forum.php?catid=11 Welcome to the Herp Health Forum! Reptiles and amphibians have very specific care requirements to maintain their health and standard of living. Sometimes even the best of care falls short and an animal can become ill or get injured. If it can happen to a herp, odds are it has happened before, and this forum is here to help you find answers or direction. Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to all aspects of herp health including treatment and prevention of illness/disease as well as related husbandry and propagation/breeding issues.
