Burm Skin Mystery, Post Shed

[AjaMichelle]

So I've been combating a mystery skin affliction since February and I think it's FINALLY gone!!!

I originally posted about it here:
http://www.ssnakess.com/forums/giant-python-discussion/92423-burm-skin-mystery.html

In retrospect, I don't think the "first" small patch is related; I think that was actually just a scrape.

This is the second shed since this issue appeared. And he looks better than ever. He just finished shedding yesterday so I immediately cleaned his enclosure and soaked him in betadine.

This was at least a pound of poop, and his perfect shed. Not too much of a mess this time.

This is his vent after his shed in March. You can see his vent is still irritated.

This is his vent yesterday! Perfect! There's a pink tinge, but he always has this after he sheds. It'll be gone in a few days.

His lateral scales are all healed.

A little blurry, but his central ventral scales are all healed.

Monty reacts to head toweling the same way my dog does. He seems to enjoy it.

He looks great! Good job getting him healed up.

I also want to thank everyone for their suggestions when I originally posted. You were all very helpful. I'm going to continue with the betadine soaks until his next shed because I saw this affliction re-emerge about 6 weeks after his shed in March. I have also stopped using Nolvasan (Chlorhexidine) because there's a pretty good chance he's sensitive to it.

He looks great! Good job getting him healed up.

Thanks!!! I'm pretty excited! :) I'm going to feed him again in the next day or two.

Good luck- hopefully he chows right down for you. :)
