HI ALL,

I JUST WANT TO GET SOME INFO ON "WATER BLISTERS". THIS IS WHAT I KNOW THIS CONDITION TO BE SO IF I SOUND LIKE A NEWBY AND IF THIS NEWBY INSULTS ANYONE I APOLOGIZE.

A PIC OF A SNAKE WITH THIS CONDITIONWILL BE GREATLY APPRICIATE IT ALONG WITH RECOMMENDATIONS TO TREAT IT.

REGARDS,

Do not worry about some of these " bone heads and geniuses " you asked a question and hear is your answer; " Blister Disease, is caused two ways. " One, is the animal sitting on or in stagnant water " remeber that non-moving water goes stagnant after 48 hours and then becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and that is why it should be changed every 48 hours. " Second and really the main cause of Blister Disease is, " sitting on feces and urates for extended periods of time. " Piss on yourself and walk around with it for a day and you will get a diaper rash.Cleaning your snakes immediately after defecation or urate deposit " or at least as soon as possible " and keeping the water and or humidity from becoming stale, will prevent Blister Disease. If you already have a snake with it, you can use ointment like " Neosporin " to help treat it. Hope this helps.......GOD BLESS.........Johnson Herp

THANKS FOR THE HELP ... I'M NOT INSULTED IF THE OTHER HOBBYISTS FIND THIS TYPE OF QUESTIONS A LITTLE ANNOYING SINCE I'M SURE I'M NOT THE FIRST TO ASK.

YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRICITATED. BY THE WAY, DO YOU HAVE ANY PICS OF THIS CONDITION?

THANKS,
