Thanks, I've been thinking along the same lines. No facial rub that I can see, but he does push and roam along the glass front quite a bit. Wondered if the terrarium was too small (it is 36x28x21). I wondered about the dry piece from a shed also. Haven't seen anything really obvious. He's not head shy which is great! The last shed was not perfect (he decided to shed during shipping). I know we'd need a culture and sensitivity test first before selecting an antibiotic, I was just trying to educate myself for something the vet might prescribe. We all know some vets are Baytril-happy. I am not overly worried at this point but as we live in a small remote bush town in AK a trip to the vet means a hour by air taxi (plus $120 if I go with him). For this reason I keep sterile Culturettes around so i can send a sample in to the vet. I got them for my birds. Do you know if the same would work for snakes? How should I take samples? He's a rescue but has turned out to be a really beautiful nice animal.
