Good Day
I'm in need of extra help on Corns. I have just (4 months ago)
been placed in charge of 9X adult Corns, 22X hatch-ling Corns,
2X 1.8m Red Tail Boa, 1X 1.2m Red Tail Boa, 1X 750mm Columbian,
1X 1.8m VERY AGGRESSIVE Albino Corn and 1X 950mm Packed
with attitude Pine Snake.. Also lotsa Beardies of various sizes.
With the overtake problematic snakes were not mentioned, which
includes two corns that i am slowly but surely loosing, and one
guy that i had to put down because of EXTENSIVE tail rot.
I fear for those other two.. I dont know what else i can do
for them and DESPERATELY NEEEEEEEED ADVICE, short from taking them
to a vet(boss wont allow, i am this close to doing it anyway and
paying out of my own pocket as i dont know what else to do....)
Any Way.. All the other snakes are doing fantastic and
seem to enjoy life again. Some people have said it looks
like the Pine Snake is "smiling" again.
(HMMM, he is a very charismatic fellow)
Its just those 2 that i cannot seem to help.

I have problems with two of our corns, i am desperatly trying to
get some information on skin.. shedding... cracking of skin..????
If someone has some knowledge on this odd problem please let me know.
They havent fed since December, they shed twice in jan, but are still
"blue", they have shed completely.. once they shed the bottem
skin cracks and they shed again.... I soak, i oil, i mist.. i spray
shedding aid.. i have started treating the wounds now. I am
loosing them. They are in bad condition.
## They shed beginning Feb, again a lovely shed, one long intact
piece, and the day after they got dull and "blue" again.
## I mist the viv about every two hours, spray shedding
aid, i soak them..i treat the wounds with oil wound heal
The skin cracks open up to white flesh.
The skin splits open only after the soak or oil treatments.
The snakes are adults, 1.2m and 1m, Red Corn Breeding Pair. |
