Wild T. radix Ranch Guest

He is gorgeous!
Looks like it might be a bite or access that has drained, crusted over, and then become infected/inflamed around the edges. When the butlers I take in have wounds swollen like this, infection often appears as a whitish pimple like area at the apex of the swelling. Keeping the area moist w ointment seems to encourage the infection to come up to where it can drain. (The silvadine ointment you gave me is great for this.)

I hope he conquors this- he's abeautiful snappy looking guy.

Very nice Steve. Is the swollen area anything that could be a threat to the snakes life? My reason for asking is that if the answer were yes, could you breed him with a female that was ready to make use of his wild genes? Is he ready for breeding? Would his infection or swollen area be any danger to other snakes? All of this is keeping in mind you would be skipping a quarantine period which I don't think your a fan of. Nice red radix, a keeper for sure.
