In Reply to: Bump on my snake? posted by kudleguy on November 16, 2002 at 19:43:45:
OK Mark, This is a quote from a book I looked at.
SKIN BLISTER DISEASE: This disease looks like little white
bumps under the scales which causes them to rise. Normally the
associated cause is a cage which is kept too wet or one that
combines old feces and a wet ground medium. Either way, poor
maintenance practices will allow for the bacteria which produce
the problem to develop.(THANK YOU PETCO!!!). The initial step is to...
Put the animal in a clean,dry cage on a ground medium and use a
small water dish that doesn't allow for soaking. Wipe the snake
with a warm wet cloth to remove any dirt or foreign substance.
In addition, topical application of Betadine Solution to the
skin with a cloth on a daily basis is recommended. If the disease
seems extensive, then a veterinarian needs to be consulted and
antibiotics administered.
Recovery will not be complete until the next shed.
I hope this helps you out, I personally would take the snake
back and get your money back (if they even do that) and go find
something on the Kingsnake Classifieds!
Best of luck, let me know how things turn out... Doc
