    Re: Vet. Visit

    you say these are near the sites of old injuries? how old are these injuries?
    and this stuff just sort of turned up, starting with the pink areas and then turned kind of crusty?
    the reason I'm asking - and I'm not sure that this is even possible in a snake - is because it kind of looks like an old internal hematoma working it's way out
    has there been any discharge, or is it just that crusty stuff?

    We've had Scar for over 2.5 years. All of his injuries were wild ones. All were healed when we found him. On about his 3rd shed he had areas(injury site) where it was just flesh, no skin. They were treated with topical antibiotic and healed. He has shed many times since then without any issues. This new issue has not had any discharge(that I have seen)
    Thanks for your interest.
