Blisters on python

[MR_MRS_Monroe]

Hey guys My sons snake has little clear blister thing on her and when they pop is clear water stuff that comes out . It don't seem to hurt her but been on her since we got it .. I'm not happy with all the pythons we got..all of them have had problems this is just 1 more to add to the list
Any help would be good

post up some pics if you can, it makes it a bit easier to get an idea of what is going on.

Where on the snake are the blisters? Pics would definitely help. If it's on the underside of the snake, it may be scale rot. If you're having problems with a large number of reptiles, it suggests husbandry issues. Pictures of your enclosures would be great, how old is your son?

 

[MrBredli]

Keep the snake dry and warm, and ensure the enclosure is spotless as the snake is at high risk for infection. The snake will need a trip to the vet for antibiotics.

Could just be water blisters. Mr Bredli's advice is probably the best you can do for now

 

[serpenttongue]

Sounds like body blisters from high humidity, and/or dirty conditions. They will probably go after a shed (however, sometimes they multiply), but the cause needs to be rectified.

It is very frustrating and worrying when our animals fall ill or have strange things pop up on them.... I hope that your snakes have nothing too serious wrong with them

.....been on her since we got it..........all of them have had problems this is just 1 more to add to the list......

Have you spoken with the seller about it? When you say it's been like that since you got her, did you ask the seller about in before you purchased?

I hope the seller can offer you some advice (I think it's always worth a police phone call, even if the problem only arise once you arrived home, because if any of their other animals have shown signs, it might help out more than just your snake (if it's a new problem)h

Te above advice of dry, warm, vet (take all of the snakes in for peace of mind) would be my gut reaction too (as an inexperienced keeper myself, I know the importance of being safe rather than sorry, a simple vet visit may have it cleared up in no time

Good luck with all of them, keep us updated and share pics when you can

Possible burn blisters? What kind of heating is provided to the snakes?

 

[Darlyn]

Report to police?? Is that a typo?
Oh do you mean polite phone call?

 

[CaptainRatbag]

I agree with hurcorh, you havent got a huge 150w globe too cose to the snake? or a bolb without a mesh guard? If you have a mesh guard and too big wattage bolb, the mesh can get hot enough to burn a snakes skin.

Perhaps putting a little F10 (weak solution) on the affected areas to disinfect (unless it hurts the snake too much) Dont do it straight away, I have just made the suggestion, wait until someone more experienced confirms it is a good idea or not.

In the meantime, check that it isnt burns from your heat source.

 

[Nighthawk]

Clean the enclosure, top to bottom, disinfect any/all 'furniture' in there with f10 solution and change the substrate. Allow it all to completely air dry. Make sure there's not too high a heat source, this happened to me once and it was because the enclosure had a UV with mesh cage mounted to the wall that my childreni sat on; soon rectified but not after many expensive vet visits, this was when I was new and fresh to the hobby. So it can be something as innocent-looking as that.
I would still take the snake to the vet however, as blisters can be a sign of other problems, but this way you're hedging all your bets. Hope this helps
