The vet told me it was a bacterial infection after fecal analysis. He said the food source was likely the reason, as in thawed rodents that were not maintained at proper conditions when frozen for example. His words, his guess.


HUH? That makes no sense. Is your vet saying that snakes that eat mice that are slightly decaying will get a bacterila infection? Some of my healtheist snakes are my garbage feeders that I throw in 2-3 day old smelly mice. If anything it seems to boost their immune system.

is this (bubble effect) effecting small neonates-yearling snakes or adults as well??
