It's something confused me for very long time . I have 1 anerys male adult . He is very easy to affects diseases and seems has lower resistance than other boas I have .

The problem was appeared since last Oct . In last Oct , he has affected respiratory infection . I brought him to see the vet , and then he is seems to be recovered . Later on , he afected RI again , and we have done the same treatments to him , and he recovered again .

Until the 3rd time he has affected RI , I found something there's something unusual with him . Well , I must say , I keeping all my boas at the same environment and everyone is fine that never affected any diseases (even others could breeded successfully) , except him .

Later on , I found some under-skin pus tumors on his jaw , I taken him to the vet right away and we have done some operations for his jaw .

At this moment , he is sick again . I found he has affected mouth rot and perhaps with RI at the same time .

I really can't remember how many time he has affected diseases within 1 year . I just remember , I always took him to see the vet every 1 or 2 weeks.

We almost tried most of the antibiotics for his disease , like Gentamycin , Amikacin , Amocicilin , Enrofloxacin ... so many ...

We have also finished some blood test , bacterial development of infection .... so many ..

Therefore , we still do not know - what's wrong with him ?

I have spent a lot of time and money for him and his disease and it's seems has never been a healthy snake wihthin the last 11 months .

I am really very tired of the mucus which never disappeared in his mouth ...

I am just thinking about , maybe has just has a poor resistance causes by his recessive morph ? Is that a Genetic problem ? Or it's just a normal problem of husbandry ?

I really need your help ...

Any advince will be helpful for him and me .

If anyone knows any good method to improving his resistance , please let me know .

I don't wanna lost him ...

thanks a lot .
