Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Well, the throat puffing seemed to subside or be so minimal I can't really notice it today. I've increased humidity and added a larger water bowl where it could fully submerse. It's totally in the blue today so I expect a shed in a few days. Hope it comes off in one piece and without any issues.

The blue eyes don't show in the pic for some reason, but you get the point.

Last night, this morning and today after work I noticed it keeping its head help up looking at the sky so to speak. The throat puffing is back too.

Having trouble finding a vet that will treat venomous. I've been reading about using a digger with f10sc veterinary disinfectant. I'll have to order it bc no stores have it.

You shouldn't have to bring the animal in. Perhaps offer to share a youtube video of the snake's symptoms? Respiratory infection medicine is inexpensive. If the vet is willing to trust your diagnosis, especially given they don't want to see a venomous animal in person, they should be able to give you a prescription.

Meant fogger...my phone autocorrected to digger. I'll call my vet again tomorrow and see what he has to say about the video diagnosis. He's a good guy and I take my 5 dogs there for years.

Went to my vets office today to pick up medication for my dog. Only the associate vet was there and he does not desk with herps. The owner does and is the only one who can make the decision to treat or not to treat the snake. They said more than likely he will send me home with a culture swab kit, have me tube the snake and swab its saliva and then bring it to them for a culture. Then he will give me the proper medication to treat the snake at home. I'll be getting an answer on Monday. Better response then talking to the office staff on the phone earlier in the week.

Vet called me back and has a culture kit ready for me to pick up. I'll be getting the cultured saliva back to the vet by Friday or Saturday depending on when I'm done with work. On a side note Enyo are a fr adult mouse about 30 minutes ago. I'm happy about that.
