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.

Bad Shed
This is his first shed since I recieved him from a friend who had him in his garage without food or water for quite some time. I had someone look at him and they said it was because he was dehydrated. For the past 4 days I've been soaking him for 45 min twice a day and applying wound aide twice a day. I thought this would help him improve but today I looked at him and there was green puss coming off and looking like it was spreading. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know. Thanks

To me, it looks like scale rot. A couple causes of scale rot include excessive moisture and unclean living conditions (living in its own feces for excessive periods).
Please take in mind that I am not a vet...I can only suggest going to a reputable reptile vet in your area. I hope you can get everything taken care of.

scale rot as well,
are you drying him after the soaking?
also what kind of substrate is the snake living in?
you might want to cut back to one soaking a day now

Definate scale rott or wet skin infection.... Take it to a vet immediately, no time for guessing games. Better safe than sorry......

I'm using paper towels for substrate and dry him off after soaking. I live in South Florida and im looking for a vet if anyone knows of one. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to take him. For the mean time I'll cut back the soaking and apply neosporin.

It seems to be belly rot. I would apply Neosporin and keep him as dry as possible. Use only paper as substrate and replace as needed. Just remember to maintain an adequate temperature gradient in his enclosure to boost his immune system.
