Just found this gorgeous stripeless green and red eastern, but I am concerned.
Her musket had bright red blood in it at the end.
She has a marble sized lump right in mid body. (Not tailward like id expect of an undelivered baby.
After she wàs done musking her vent looked completely normal no irritation.
how concerned should I. Be by the bit of blood?
Im keeping her comfortable for now.

I would get a fecal float done to rule out a parasite problem.

I plan on testing her if it looks like she will be sticking around- Abby would be happier wit a companion.
Chris has soàked well and is sunning on the warm side now. No poop or any signs of blood anywhere. No fear either which might be bad sign.

I think she ate foriegn matter & was having trouble passing it due to lack of water.

Glad to hear that! That's a great looking snake. I've never seen an eastern with both the green and the red like that.

Re: çhristmas in june
I'm not 100% sure she is eastern. Our natives are eastern & butlers but she was an urban find so dumping is a possibility. I've never caught one like her before. Originally Posted by d_virginiana
