Just don't discredit a vet right away, a few years ago my Puget was sick, The vet had never seen one, she even called in a few vet techs to see the pretty blue garter.

She set me up with antibiotics, Metacam (Animal pain killer) and Silvadine, the regimen worked, and the snakes cystic boils healed and he was once again healthy.

Just because a vet may not have Thamnophis experience, they know more about animals than anyone else.
