1. Does a animal with bad skin problems have the boid viral diease I keep hearing about?.. How would I tell? As a added note the snake is in quartine at a family members house since I bought it. Since I keep more expensive boas at my house and I shower and change clothes after working with it.
It broke out last month with a cest with sticky pus coming out it was clear. Next thing I know he is covered in them.. They are now gone cept he has not shed cept his head and underbelly. He has open sores and I soak him in benadine since his vet appt is thurs. Also he smacks his head into the wall of his cage when I walk by now and won't eat why does he do this?is this ibd? He use to not care when I came into the room... never had the problem with getting him out... Is he just sore?

He's probably in incredibly amounts of pain. Would you be happy if your body was covered in open sores?
true but I figured the soaks someone recomended on here would help....
Come on cm_reptiles! This has been going on for nearly 2 weeks now. The animal has a SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEM that will not be solved by soaking or any other easy and free magic potion. It needs medical care. If you can’t provide it, as you stated in an earlier thread, you have no right to keep this animal. Whether you care to admit it or not, your snake is a victim of animal abuse. Please do the right thing and try harder to find a reptile vet or call animal rescue to have this animal removed from your "care".
