    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....

ok, not sure if this is the right place, since a boiga is usually "warm" and not life threatening, but i own a young mangrove, and apart from the stress from moving from show to home, is ok. however, there is a small scratch about three and a half inches behind the base of the skull. i have been treating this with antibiotics, but how can i get it to close up? it seems like the skin is turned underneath the wound, and bunched up at the sides. also, when de-worming, would you reccomend injecting panacur into prey items prior to feeding, or squirting it directly into the snake's mouth? i might sound like a noob, but i have plenty experience with aggressive snakes, just no deworming experience. please let me know what i should do ASAP. thank you!
 
Open wounds on reptiles will close from the inner tissues, in an outward manner. Meaning, it could look like an open wound for a long time, although it is closing internally.

If it's really a small scratch like you describe, then let it be. It'll most like be gone in a shed or two. They don't heal quite as fast as we do.
 
ok, and between typing this and reading your post, it is looking alot better. the parasites are getting medicated for, and this little guy is feisty! he is calm once you have him out of the cage, but while inside he is a little @$$
