I tried getting a measurement, I thought she was closer to 7' but she's just under 6'-6".She wouldn't sit still, I even tried the string trick.

Ethan,now that's the reason why I got into bloods in the first place.A full grown red adult animal is soo impressive to look at!Hey Ethan she still looks ox blood red to me.I could only wish that any of my girls to turn out that nice.That was great information that kara gave you about baytril.Sorry to hear that about your big girl.She looks as if she bounced back,she's gorgeous.I went through the same thing with a wild caught adult boa,necrotic tail tip,mouth rot,worms and a eight month long respitory infection.I faarakeen one that battle.I totally turned her around.I used TYLAN 200 for the R.I.It's a antibiotic for severe upper respitory inf.They use it on pigs and cattle.Weird Huh,it worked in two in a half weeks.anyway thanks for the pics,hope to see more of her.How about some head shots,Her head must be massive.

She developed these two bumps on here back where I injected the bayril to treat her RI.Well these bumps were getting crusty but I didn't think her scales would fall off.Wekk they did after she just shed.The other piece is just hanging on there which I'm sure it too will come off one of these days.Nothing I can do about it, but I do need to contact my vet and ask whats up this what happened.

She eats 2 colosal rats every 10 days, atleast I try to feed her that schedule especially since I finally got a large frozen shipment.And these rats are huge, I can't beleive how big they are.Last time she was weighed she was only 31 or 33 pounds about two months ago.She seems bigger than that though.

Ethan -

Baytril causes skin sloughing @ IM injection sites due to tissue damage. Just FYI.

Should I get on my vet for this?

Well, he should have at least warned you beforehand & discussed whether or not you wanted to use a different antibiotic, IMO.
