    I will try to treat them as regular human abscesses although the article indicates that due to its hard nature it can be only removed by surgergy. I really think it is impossible to have that here.

    Thanks a lot, it was a very helpfull article.

    Hope things will get better...

    I doubt very seriously that these are abcesses. Blisters look like abcesses if you break them. I would advise you to treat for blisters.

    As a start I moved it to a very dry container with a small bowl of water. It is still eatting well and actting normally. I think I will do some Betadine solution soaking treatment for him.

    I am not sure what else to do.... Vets do not accept garter snakes and I asked the shop where I bought and the guy just gave me another garter snake in replace for it (as a polite way to make me leave)

    Anyway, thanks for the advice...
