    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. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

My buddy just got a burmese python with mouth rot. I was wondering if anyone had any info on treating it. The nearest vet that will even look at him is about an hour and half away. Was just wondering if there is some medicine that can be purchased over the counter. Thanks for any help.
 
If it's visible, the infection is also probably systemic which is only treatable with antibiotic injections gotten from a vet. What part of Illinois are you in?
 
I am in springfield IL. The nearest places i could find a vet is ST Louis and Chicago. I wish he would just give me the snake so i can get it taken care of. I don't think he wants to take it to the vet so maybe he will finally give it to me.
 
He should get systemic antibiotics, but we also debride them every other day with nolvasan (chlorhexidine solution) which you may be able to find OTC. IF you can find it you could also try silvadene ointment after you clean it out real good. And by debride I mean get ALL THE PUS outta there! Clean it really good. Hope the snake gets better.
