Yearling Bullsnake has a pink nose
My bullsnake has had a visibly pink nose for a few months at least and I'm confused as to what it is. She digs a lot, could this be the reason of friction? Thanks! [emoji16]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...75c9453972.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e3ddd6a35d.jpg

Looks like a nose rub to me. A few of mine do this every once in a while.

It is a minor nose rub. Does her enclosure have any screen? A lot of times nose rubs can be caused by screen. It doesn't look like a problem right now, but keep an eye on it because nose-rubs can become injuries if the animal "rubs itself raw." You might have to make some adjustments to your enclosure if it becomes more severe.

I now realize that, thanks! She does not have easy access to screen, but I have noticed her rubbing onto the glass on multiple occasions. [emoji30]

Sometimes if you put newspaper around the bottom few inches of the tank (on the outside), they will stop rubbing.

Bull snakes are very prone to nose rubbing. I've kept & bred them, it's a fairly common problem, even with large cages; they are restless souls & some cause real damage, sadly.
They are intelligent & wonderful pets though, if you can keep them otherwise occupied. |
