I have a ball python I recently aquired because it wasn't being taken care of. I have had it for a couple of months, its 1 year old and its a good eater (frozen). Recently it aquired mouth rot. At one point it had some bark lodged in the very front of the mouth which I got out. The snake seemed fine. It opens its mouth for me and theres blood in the inside by the throat and of course puss from the mouth rot. The snake has been soaking and also happens to be in the ready to shed stage for 2 weeks. He shed 2 weeks before that. Also there is some blood streaks under his scales on his throat and down the neck. The tank temp and humidity are where they should be and he is very cold. Any help would be appreciated thankyou

vet, as quickly as possible.
