I just picked up an anaconda juvenile that needs some attention. He has several infections under his scales, and is going through a really rough shed. I have him in a very clean cage, I gave him a few good soaks in some lukewarm water, now hes just hanging out under the heat lite and going into the water area every now and then, pretty normal behaviour.
He is a little slugish though, and he could definitly use a good feeding.
What I wanted to know is this. Should I be worried about the infections under the scales? I guess they are really tiny abceses. I pressed one and some puss came out of it.
Should I do that to all of them and then put some peroxide on them, or should I just wait until after his shed to see if that imprves them at all?
Any help is greatly apreciated. Thanks.
