jeff went blue a few days ago an i noticed that one side of his jaw was swollen so had a look in his mouth and hes has a little bit of mouth rot from what looked like a bit of aspen stuck in the top jaw/lip.
genlty removed this an the white lumps with a damp cotton bud
been washing his mouth daily with slightly diluted listerine, it works a treat.
he had a couple of red sore spots about 3mm across and its now almost gone few more days of rinsing an it should be all gone
plus some shiney pics to follow as hes just cleared up |

Oh wow - poor Jeff! That is really unlucky!
Makes me wonder if I was right to worry about feeding near aspen before - there are so many conflicting opinions.
Glad to hear he's on the mend - he was a good lad to let you do all that and hope he continues to improve. |

He really has been unlucky - when you think of the amount of snakes who feed on aspen, and in the wild, and never take harm from the odd bit of ingested debris.
Get well soon Jeff. |
