Yeah, this really sucks. I know that the best thing to do is to euthanize them all, but I don't have the guts, nor the hart to do it, so I struggle on trying all good tips I get.

In a way this is just typical, the most beautiful snakes of all in my mind, also has the most fearsome disease tied to them.

Fortunately I have a few other species within the Lampropeltis complex that works just fine. All my triangulums (4 subspecies), my getulas (2 subspecies, 3 morphs) and pyro knoblochis are doing well, eating, growing, prospering. This makes my herp spirit grow further in spite of the zonata disease.
