    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    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....

Anyone's Bullsnake ever rub it's nose raw?

None of mine have...but I've seen it happen (with bulls, and other snakes).
Usually, there is a reason for it - some husbandry issue that causes the snake to rub so incessantly. Fix it, and the rubbing should settle down.
The tissue, in most cases, will grow back...but, if its really bad, the wound may be reopened a few times during sheds.

It happened when he was shedding. He must have rubbed between the sliding glass doors to initially break the skin.
 
Been keeping Pits for a lot of years and when mine have been in too small a cage or have not been fed as they choose the rubbing begins. Also if Mites are irritating them they will often rub. In most cases it has to do with an husbandry issue as has been pointed out. By the Way--even after keeping critters for half a century (Man, I am old!!!!!) I consider myself a newbie!!!!
