>>Thanks clara the best advice on these boards I aint neglecting a animals just had to do my best untill I located a vet and now I found one and he goes in thursday. People are so rude on here



You're welcome. Unfortunately there are rude people everywhere. Usually they don't mean to be, just they get tired of the same questions/scenarios over and over again, so they end up lumping everyone with that question up into the "hopeless" category.



Not everyone is an expert, I'm certainly not an expert, but I have owned and bred snakes for over 7 years now and just go by what I have learned from the experience. Even the experts come across something they haven't seen before now and then.



Good luck with your retic, I hope the vet you are taking him to can help you. From the sounds of things, he has either some sort of internal infection (I dealt with an Indigo a few years back which had citrobacter freundii, which caused pustules to form on his skin) or scale rot from being too moist. Scale rot can show up as brown/red jagged scales and even as pustules.



Regardless of the cause, if the condition is left untreated, it will gradually get worse and kill the snake.



Hope that helps.
