Re: Help !! My Python Regius tail
Looks like the tail had stuck shed on the tip and it stopped the blood flow. The tip of the tail may be the bone.

there u go, it's red i know, but it«s probably because it stopped the blood flow, because i didn't force it .
I hope he gets better now. I will post more pictures as soon as he gets better, thank you so much for the answer Daniel.

Re: Help !! My Python Regius tail
Yeah , looks like stuck shed that was retained and caused a local infection. It might be best to have a exotic vet evaluate this. Mainly bc the tail is a very important structure in snakes and a infection can spread if not treated efficiently. May need antibiotic therapy for this. You dont want to compromise his health and functionality for the future. Reddened areas and exudative pus and swelling are a infection until proven otherwise. This requires a exotic vet evaluation so it can be treated appropriately.

Re: Help !! My Python Regius tail
There's a chance that the tip is now necrotic too. It can spread if left untreated.

Well, these are the possibilities with the animal and we are not vets and don't know for sure the extent of the condition. It is potentially very serious and requires professional evaluation. Usually a exotic vet will charge a initial exam fee and any other treatments would then be added on. Why don't you get to a exotic vet and at least get the professional opinion and see what the choices you have without spending a whole lot of extra money. Vets can usually work with you on costs. Payment plan or something similar.

Re: Help !! My Python Regius tail
I second the vet. Most vets will help if they can with billing. Let you pay it off.
At my financial worst, I had a vet agree to see me prescribe the meds my animal needed. Did all the work while I sat and sobbed about money. Then he told me to take my pet and walk out off the office. By the time he would send it to collections I'll have had time to get the money together. (His words and he did the treatment knowing I wasn't paying). Yeah it tanked my credit, but my pets are worth it.
Disclaimer. Seeking service and then running out on a bill is a crime. It can involve jail time. Do not take my one personal example of a vet that has seen all my animals since my first childhood hamster as the norm. It merely serves as an example of the extremes gets can be willing to go to when they love helping the animals. I've probably paid this guy enough to send him on a European vacation, twice, in my lifetime.

Also Free, when you get to the exotic vet let them know ahead of time about your financial difficulties so they can be informed earlier rather than later. I am sure they can bill you for part of the cost.

Re: Help !! My Python Regius tail
Unfortunately reptiles are like any other animal; when they get poorly they usually need to see a vet. Not a dig at you op but why people think there are miracle, at home, free reptile cures is beyond me.
If you had a sick cat or dog you would take it to the vet, a snake - magic Internet potion. Bizarre...
