red sores???

[lampropeltis]

my colombian has all of a suden developed a few red lumps near its
head
they wernt there yesterday
weve had some probs lately
two of our snakes died yesterday
due to a dodgy stat
could they be caused by that?
what are they?
what do i do about them?

[sue]

Take it to a reptile vet, they may well be burns and will need treating asap. Although we can offer opinions on a forum but we are not qualified vets.

well has its heatmat got a thermostat on and light got a lightguard?

can you get pictures?

[lampropeltis]

he aint got a bulb hes in a contico
and there too small and round to be burns
pics on there way


his left eye looks glazy too

could be necrotic dermatitis (scale rot)
basically get to a vet as can be very serious if not treated.

[lampropeltis]

there slightly raised and red
theres a few that are realy pushing out the skin

dosnt look like burns....what substrate you keeping on?
i advise you keep on paper if you dont already....
not too damp is it?

[lampropeltis]

poss
just put him in vermiculite as i know its sterile

if its got too wet in the tub and then he`s wee`d...then it can cause scale rot...i would get vets tomorrow and see what they say...
im not sure wether to suggest bathing incase it has got urates on him...or wether make it worse...really not sure.
