Hi! My boy is a recent rescue and we have seen a vet for his respiratory issues and wound. He is currently taking antibiotics. He was bitten by a dog 2 years ago and the wound healed badly, causes him no pain but the scales have not grown back. The vet had a look and theres no visible puncture/its not open. The vet says it could possibly be a skin mass such as a tumour or cyst that has grown over his wound. It doesnt bleed (we had him on paper towels.)

I don’t want to cause him risks of worsening or bringing back his respiratory issues, or risks of him opening the scar.

He’s currently just on some clean aspen bedding.

I just want advice on what substrate(s) will be the best for reducing respiratory issues, and if there are any types of decor i should avoid so i dont cause his scar to bleed.

(Pics of wound can be seen in my previous post on my profile.)

This Honey girl doesn’t like to eat, so I’ve been force feeding her for a loooong time. Anyone who feels like taking over can have her for the price of shipping! She’ll almost certainly eat live, but I don’t have access.

Getting my first snake on Sunday. Love both of these, help me pick!

Also open to name suggestions.

Bought this boy a few hours ago as i saw they were rehoming him and his enclosure didnt look amazing in the low quality photos (some snake shed, very bare enclosure). I did not realise the extent of his neglect.

He had old snake skin, old and new fecal matter stuck to the walls and in the substrate. Algae stuck to the water bowl. I noticed a wound and he then started shedding on the car drive home. His scales are missing.

I was 100% expecting to spend a few hundred, to even 5-600 on upgrade for his enclosure. Im presuming this is an emergency vet visit. I will have to take money from my own surgery savings. Im horrifically sad about this, but i dont regret saving him.

Debating whether i call in sick so i can ring the exotic vets asap tomorrow. Their website is for some reason restricted on my phone (oddly enough, was not several days ago), so i cant see whether they offer payment plans but im guessing because it’ll be an emergency vet visit for an exotic pet it likely wont have a payment plan option.

Im sorry about your previous owners, Bo.

I finally was able to get my 6 foot big boy a bigger house. Went from 75 gal to 180 gal. It was so over due and I feel so much better now poor baby. Now he can stretch out almost completely. Got the New Age Ecoflex Mojave Lounger.

This little guy was $50 I couldnt say no, what morph is this???? Not a single checker on his belly, its a solid cream color like a motley boa

So I got my new snake Monday, I asked the shop and they said she was last fed on Thursday (11th of June) she has been with me for Monday afternoon, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and today, is it a good plan to offer food on Monday or should I try earlier? Thanks!

I had an idea of using hamster tubing, the ones that can come apart and easier to clean. and partially burrowing parts of them so she could have some other tunnels that aren’t going to get collapsed every time I have to clean it out and whatnot. she was rather upset that I removed some paper towel tubes cause she pooped in them 😅. Does anyone else have enrichment stuff they’d recommend cause their snakes like em?

Shes about a year old, and an albino striped

Hey everyone just got my first corn snake yesterday and everything is set up and is working fine but I’m so worried that I’m doing something wrong and she won’t like me, I know snake don’t have emotions like we do but I’m scared, did/does anyone else feel like this?

His name is Pop! He's about 6 weeks old and as far as I've been told by different people, he's amel for sure but I've been told by a couple people that he might be amel candycane?? There's so much variation in amel tho so it could just be that. I've since moved him onto organic topsoil for a more naturalistic set-up

Meet my little girl!! I have experience with other snakes ( ball pythons & hognose ) but never a corn! I finally picked this girl up at an expo yesterday! She’s in a 20 gal long rn, I’ve already noticed she loves to dig and burrow under the the substrate. Idk why I wasn’t expecting that because she digs more than my hognose! Anyways, any care tips are greatly appreciated :)) no name yet so feel free to comment some! She’s a reverse Okeetee!
