Rosy-Boa Abscess

Great job
I would have removed anything abrasive though, to avoid issues. (Rock)

Yeah, I probably should have removed her rock hide, as she used it quite effectively to try and rub her bandage off, but i didnt have any other smoother hides to replace it with, and wanted her to still be utilizing her warm-side :/


on a different note, i had an interesting exchange with the vet student today.... I took Neki to Cornell Vet School, and they have 3rd year students do the initial intake/evaluations, and she was asking about the enclosure.... and asked if i used any UVA/UVB bulbs, and how old my bulbs were (?!?!?!?!) I told her they were just basking bulbs, as snakes don't NEED UV lights :P Then she asked what i fed her (1 or 2 mice/week) and she said 'ok, so no insects, fruits, vegetables...?'
I really hope she is going on to be a bird vet, not reptiles :P

Not at all surprising. There are reptile vets that have no idea what herps require uv lighting.
