    photos of Sick Similis and Puget

    Wayne, Shannon and Friends,
    Please see the attached link to Photobucket to see pics of my sick Similis and sick Puget...
    Don't know if these poor pictures of either snake will allow you to see the swelling(?) of their lungs or not...
    Thanks for looking!
    Jack

    Honestly, I can't see anything visibly wrong with those snakes in those pictures, other than the fact that the similis is extremely P. O'ed... like all similis's are!!! I can't make out any lung swelling there. How are they doing Jack? pictures from the side instead of the top might help, but from those, they don't look swollen. That doesn't mean your snakes are not sick, just that theyre not so extremely sick that their lungs have swollen.

    I looked and I cannot see anything alarming either.

    Just wish I lived close enough for an in person look.

    Shannon,

    My female Similis is the sister to your Similis, as we both bought them from Scott out of the same clutch! I love her! No matter how much I handle her she's always trying to bite me!
    Maybe both my Similis and my Puget's lungs are not swollen. I am worried about her and my Puget's popping sounds when they breath though...
    Jack
