Bumps on my snake...need some help

jasonmattes Jan 05, 2014 10:16 PM

I just noticed these bumps on my snake.
She's 7 1/2 years old. I've never seen anything like this
I have 2 other snakes. And amazon tree boa that I've had for 10 years and a recently acquired baby corn snake that I got from a friend.
She stopped eating recently which I thought was odd for her but she is getting older and I figured it's that time of the year.
Thinking this is why.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

1. Soak dish, large. If any external parasites are present, they will likely be drowned within 30 minutes if your snake soaks well. I keep large soak dishes (salad bowl size) in all of my vivariums and I have NEVER had mite problems.

2. Antibiotic ointment? If an infection is present, you can use the same topical ointment on a reptile that you use on your own skin.

3. Veterinary if this continues. I've not seen anything like that, either, and it could be a major infection.
