This morning i noticed my boa had a swollen throat just behind the mouth. i tried to look inside the mouth but i couldn't open it but i could see some blood in the teeth area. any ideas on whatt could be wrong?
i also noticed that her tongue was slow to react and the fork was "together" although after some time i looked normal again. but when i checked again some time later the thing happened.
could it be mouth rot, R.I. please help..

thanks

Now another problem is, there are no vets that are familiar with snakes where i'm from.
