abscess under snake?

bigcountry1 Jan 10, 2005 10:17 AM

I was checking out my 'captive bred and born' female blood python, and noticed something under a couple of the scales.

I pressed on them, and a fluid w/ a little bit of white stuff came out.

any ideas of what this could be? thanks,

Sounds like scale rot..Is the enclosure to moist..I would put it on newspaper at least until it clears up
