snake_bit Mar 14, 2009 07:51 AM

Anyone have pics of sick snakes. I want to collect a folder of snakes with issues.Even minor problems like bad sheds, eye caps,cuts. Bigger problems like lumps, stuck eggs,sores from rubbing on tank etc.I thought it might be helpfull when people come here with questions about the health of their snake.I am not writing a book but i would like permission to use the pics here in the forums.You guys are welcome to any pics of mine.


So called "mouth rot"

A hatchling of mine just had a cloacal prolapse. It's back in now, if it pops back out I'll be sure to snap a photo for you.

Anyway, this is rather minor but here is a photo of a tail tip that just had two stuck sheds removed. The tip of the tail has a visible constriction that is still noticeable two years later.

It's no prolapse but it's what I've got.
