so i took my bp to the vet today, because he wasent doing to good sitting with his mouth open retained shed ect. The vet found out he had mouth rot (mild case) so i have some "snake mouthwash" for that. He aslo found out he was constipated which is why his tail looked so skinny caused by de-hydration (stress-i think hes wild caught) they milked him for that and got most of it out he looks way better now, and he sent a stool sample to a lab should have results back tomorow. Just in case he had a resp infection vet could not tell because he wouldnt take a breath (said open mouth was probably because of retained shed on head) he gave me antibiotics in shots and showed me how to give the snake the injections for the next couple weeks along with the baths hes getting everyday. Anyway this snake has given me so many problems lol i have a panther chameleon and i thought the snake would be easy to care for =( but i guess thats what comes with owning a pet.
