Question about bumps

saagbay Apr 07, 2009 05:16 PM

okay so first off i am sorry for the lack of information i got a phone call from a cousin telling me his friends BCI (yearling i think) has little pimple like bumps on its back....

i asked about mites thinking that maybe mites got under the scales or something... im guessing in the dark here... but i told my cousin i would look into it

has anyone ever had a snake that had bumps that could be discribed as pimple-like?? i never heard of it so i didnt even know if it was a common thing or even somewhat common.

any input or thoughts would be helpful

0.1 soon to be wifey (hopefully)
1.0 rotwiler/chow (Boomer-wifey's pooch)
1.0 norm corn (Jake aka grumpy old terdhead)
1.0 col redtail boa (Switch, formally known as Dixie)
0.1 ball python (Bella- wifey's baby girl)
0.1 Brazilian Rainbow Boa (Saphira)

hopeful for not to distant future:
--Brazilian rainbow boas
2 or 3 more? maybe a breeding trio or two pair
-- something for the wifey... my list got to big...

It sounds like Blister disease or vesicular dermatitis. But that is just a guess with the small amount of info given. The snake needs to see a vet ASAP to properly diagnose the problem and to administer and prescribe any meds the snake might need. Good luck I hope everything turns out for the better.

take care
