Hi
I thougth I'd put a few words in here. I lost my entire L. z. agalma collection of 9 specimen to this disease and I can say that your description does not fit very good.

The alligator-skin covers the whole animal and the snake starts to move in an uncontrolled way - backwards, body upside down while head straight and so on.

The signs are very strong and could not be mistaken for anything else. I tried just about everything I could think of and then some, but nothing could stop the disease.

Five of my agalmas died, I put the remaining four to sleep myself. It was the hardest thing I've ever had to do during my 40 years keeping snakes.
