No Randal, the two are separate conditions. Possibly interrelated. I've yet to have the skin(neither shed, nor cultures from the actual snake) analyzed yet. You know thats the catch-22 with these things. Trying to treat them stresses them and you're DA$Med if you do, and DA$Med if you don't.

I haven't noticed any actual reddening of the ventral scutes on this snake, so I don't think it actually had the pink belly(internal bleeding) condition, which is lucky. The belly looks very clear..actually a cream color, except for the infected scales which look like you typically see on burm pythons with infected scutes.....this is treatable.
