BHP sores around mouth

[Ryant16]

hi,
got my BHP out today after i noticed she had been in her hide for a while now. i got her out and checked over her and noticed she had what appeared to be sores around the outer areas of her mouth. she is due for a shed in a couple of days but i thinks these are unrelated subjects. i will attatch pictures but im very worried she seems to not have any energy or anything. if you have any ideas please help.
thanks

I'm attempting to upload pics but it's not working

Sounds like she has stomatitis, a vet trip is in order as she'll likely need antibiotics.
In saying she has no energy do you mean that she's limp?

i cant get her to open her mouth, shes normally very placid but she just doesnt seem to have any fight in her at all
if i can manage to get pics up it should be easier to identify

I got her mouth open and there is no sores or gunk or extra
Saliva or anything. Nothing like i have read
Or seen about stomatitis It's just these sores around the bottom underside of her head. If anyone wants pics I can email them to you?

are they open sores or just swelling? I have maccy that gets swollen lumps along it's gum line just prior to shedding.

If you are unsure, it is always worth a trip to the vets, better a health check up than leaving it too late and having a dead snake.

Went to vet and got my girl checked out. She just had a minor infection that was caused by a parasite. No biggy he said. A prescription of antibiotics and a wipe down with some metho!? And done he said it's the 10th case this month. Although whilst I was there a guy came in with a coastal that had a massive absence in it's mouth. Couldn't close it mouth or anything. Thanks for the help Everyone
