    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....

I NEED SOME HELP

I just tried to feed my albino and he wouldn't eat and he has not eaten in 39 days. Thats not the problem and I wouldn't worry about a ball that hasn't eaten in 39 days. When I lifted his hide and saw his head I noticed these marks right behind his head on both sides and a small mark on top.

Its kind of blood red almot like an internal cut. Its not a bite because he hasn't seen a live meal since his 3rd feeding. Its not a burn. His setup is a 32 qt tub, one hide and a water bowl. I checked my herpstat and it was reading a high of 94.1 with a low of 93. Thats on the tape so its a little lower threw the tub and paper. Is a trip to the vet in order? The other 3 snakes in this rack are fine.
 
I would go ahead and take him to the vet. They will be able to scrape the area and view it under the microscope to see if it is fungal or bacterial or just an abrasion. Looks almost like a bad bruise from being restrained but I can't really tell from looking at pics online.

If he was mine I would take him in for the vet to check out. Good Luck!
 
It almost looks like he got his head caught inbetween something like a rack and the tub being slid shut. What ever it is I would say a trip to the vet would be worth it.

Good luck!
