Hey Guys,

After keeping venomous and non venomous snakes for more than 5 years, I dared to buy a 3 feet long young male green a week ago and started having issues immediately


The male looked like it was about to shed when it came (blue eyes) but have not shed yet after a week. The eyes were normal colored yesterday and they are blue again today.

Since he arrived, he never came out of his huge water dish and soaks excessively. I thought it was normal since they are water boas and it is shedding time but yesterday I noticed scales out of place on his body. Some of his scales look raised. And today I noticed a small blister like region on his head, which ofcourse scared the hell out of me. Also slight hissing sounds came out of him like breathing problem when I was handling him, which was never observed before. 5 minutes ago I removed his water dish and planning to leave it out for the day.

Any ideas??? Is it some kind of a blister disease due to excessive soaking? Can it be related to shedding? It feeds perfectly and is extremly tame.

I am really worried and any help is appriciated.

Let me know.

e-mail is perfect but I will also check the board, tooç
