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.

Normal.
Be sure you get them to the vet. RI is nothing to mess around with and mouth rot often goes hand in hand with it.

If she has mucus in her mouth, I wouldn't wait to treat her. And I would suggest a trip to the vet, to be sure of what you're actually treating her for. Hopefully she's resting nicely for now, in quarantine!! Good luck!

IMHO, once mouthrot sets in, it's time for antibiobitics. Also, her mouth will need to be gently swabbed to remove the crud that sticks in there.

If that's what the vet says is correct for what's wrong with the snake, it sounds like the needs a vet more than a guess.

Also if they came together you may as well assume they are both sick, and hopefully if you have other snakes they went to quarantine and not in the same room as any other snakes you might have.

I don't need to give a vet $200 for them to give me baytril and say if this doesn't work we'll try something else  FWIW I'm giving the ball the same mg/kg dose my Boa got which is the same dose ppl online recommend.
