    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Pair of Sub Adults Boa/Burm

I rescued these guys, but now the wife can't relax. I mainly keep corns so these are "too big". Anywho, Burm has mouthrot which I've been treating with betadine. I'm asking $200 for both of them. I'm in So Cal, near Long Beach, pick up only. email me @ [email protected]

First off you cannot breed those. One is a Red Tail Boa the other is a Burmese Python. Second do you know the sex of either of them? Also if you decide to ship let me know.
 
???????

I agree With one being Boa the other A Python ...Its not a biggy But what concerns me is what Antibiotic you are treating the mouth rot with. Betadine isnt going to cure it They are nice looking though if you decide to ship e-mail me I'll take them
 
I apologize if I mislabeled the snakes. I am only going by what I was told. I have updated the ad. As far as the betadine, I have read that this will kill the bacteria which are causing the mouthrot. Any suggestions on what else to do? As far as I have heard no one will ship snakes that size. If you know of someone, let me know.
 
Its ok it happens :) Without Vet care and a prescribed Antibiotic the mouth rot wont get cured and will eat away the inside of the mouth. I'm going through this with my female boa good thing I have a cool vet she gave me "Ceftazdime" and it works great. by the way which one has the mouth rot? just curious thanks
 
Not trying to be a jerk here, but Al Robbins (old school Herpetologist and inventor of venomductdectomies) cured all his snakes mouth rot cases with betadine. I am in complete disagreement with you over that one.

In case you want more info on who Al was I will include this link for your browsing pleasure

I think you will find that he was ver achieved to be using a method of cure that didnt work.

Thats What makes It great That we live in America We can disagree :raspberry I went to the Site Above and couldnt find the treatment of betadine for mouth rot any where ....alot about Magic folk ....LOL But to each his own I reckon. the treatment I mentioned above Came from the best Herp school I know of Cornell College in New York they are my Primary Vet for all my pets and reptiles but if you have used betadine only to cure mouth rot and it worked then cool .....but mouth rot is an infection and as so betadine may keep it under control but it doesn't kill the primary infection it takes an antibiotic to do that JMHO

Al Robbins was a nice guy but he was also old school in the way of thinking and keeping reptiles. I went to his house when I was a teenager and saw his animlas first hand. Most were healthy but the way he kept most of them was very old school compared to the way they are kept today. Leave it to a vet and "newer" treatment , it will probably be better for the snake in the long run.
