My vet visit...

Krissyw84 · 10-26-12, 09:45 AM

So I took my ball to the vet and I couldn't get him to come out of the skull hide he loves to chill in. Showed a pic of the "tick" or whatever it is to the vet and he tells me to get some flea/tick remover that you'd use on dogs, spray some on a cloth and rub down my snake... He also said he doesn't think it's a tick... Just getting a lil frustrated...

You should be able to get some tweezers and lift up on the thing, to check its underside (don't just pull it off!). If it is a tick, you should be able to see some tiny legs kicking around toward the base (where the head is attached).

LOL...cysts and blisters don't have legs!
