As some of you may have seen, I got my QLD BHP last tuesday.
He was in the middle of a terrible shed, and today I am still picking bits of slough off him. I have been bathing every day, misting his tub, temps are fine. Yet he still has stuck skin on him.
Today while I was pulling the skin off his cloaca I realised there was a bit of blood under the cloaca. I believe this is a result of the guy I bought him off probing him and not knowing what he was doing, but if you think it could be a result of the slough, please let me know.
Anyway, I rang the closest reptile vet (100kms from Bathurst at Katoomba Vet Clinic) who was called Rhys Sweaney (anyone know him) who advised me to continue bathing and moisturise the snake. I havent done this as I am not sure if it is okay to do so? The vet didnt seem too phased about the blood.
I have pulled more skin off the snake again tonight. I made an appointment for 2pm tomorrow but am still unsure whether I should bother going or not.
SO my question is, blood under cloaca normal? A slight bit squeeze out when I was sussing it out. And also, have you moisturised your snake? Was it beneficial? What one did you use?
Cheers
