    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 bullsnake has had a visibly pink nose for a few months at least and I'm confused as to what it is. She digs a lot, could this be the reason of friction? Thanks! [emoji16]

It is a minor nose rub. Does her enclosure have any screen? A lot of times nose rubs can be caused by screen. It doesn't look like a problem right now, but keep an eye on it because nose-rubs can become injuries if the animal "rubs itself raw." You might have to make some adjustments to your enclosure if it becomes more severe.
 
I now realize that, thanks! She does not have easy access to screen, but I have noticed her rubbing onto the glass on multiple occasions. [emoji30]

Sometimes if you put newspaper around the bottom few inches of the tank (on the outside), they will stop rubbing.
 
Bull snakes are very prone to nose rubbing. I've kept & bred them, it's a fairly common problem, even with large cages; they are restless souls & some cause real damage, sadly.
They are intelligent & wonderful pets though, if you can keep them otherwise occupied.
