Hey guys,
i was sunning my diamond python outside on tuesday this week and noticed something quite disturbing :?
looking at some of his belly scales, some of them seem to be edged in blood. its not really the large under belly scales, its the ones to the sides of them. i will attach some pics ive just taken to let you see for yourselves. he has already been to the vet the same day we found it: he took a look at the scales and in his mouth and that looks fine so he said we should wait until after he sheds because he suspects they will be gone by then. if not, the possibilities are a bacterial infection or blister disease
has anyone else ever seen anything like this? i dont see how it could be either of those because his cage is always kept clean and i was under the impression that it was a high humidity problem that causes blister disease - correct me if im wrong - the humidity in his cage is never very high so i dont see how that would work :?
anyway thanx for any info you guys may have for me and sorry if it is hard to see on the pics - had to reduce the size in order to attach em on here :?
