Sick Boa. Please Help

rocraida May 29, 2005 02:45 PM

Here's are some pictures of what appears to be an infection around the ventral area of my young boa constrictor. This appeared the other day, and I tried contacting the specialist veterinarian, but they weren't in at the time (I plan on contacting them again asap). It all seems to have started when Rock regurgitated his meal several days after I had fed him. Then I waited a week and fed him again with the same results (a mistake on my part). Can anyone provide me with any insight to this problem and tell me if it is something that can be easily taken care of, or if it could become fatal very quickly? I will most likely have taken Rock to the vet by the time I get enough responses, but I'd like to get a general opinion on this situation as it has me worried.

This is with my webcam so the pictures are not great quality.

Stick to your plan and get to the vet asap. Let us know how it turns out.
