My snake bites are 2 months old now and one of them has a white ring around it, but they're barely leaking any lymph fluid.

Is this normal? Will it go away?

I got my septum done on May 16th, and there's a gnarly irritation bump on one side.

Is there any way to get rid of it? Will it cause trouble changing the jewelry to a clicker ring in the future when it's healed?

She wiggles her proboscis when she's drinking. I don't know if she's actually drinking or just flailing it around? She's my first moth ever. She's a Five Spotted Hawk Moth.

Ignore me talking to her + the mess in the background. She's in my Snake Room

I posted about how large she was, but 5 days after I weighed her in at 524g (after her prelay shed) she is now 498g

She's pregnant, and it's been 5 days since she shed out.

Should I be worried? There are no eggs in her lay box or anywhere in her enclosure.

This is what Google said, but I know sometimes it's bullshit.

I wanted to share my Corn Snake. She is pregnant and will be laying soon. She's HUGE. She was big to begin with (I accidentally over fed her. She has a habit of trying to eat anything that she can fit her mouth around, and my fingers fit the category so doing ANYTHING with her is extremely difficult.) She is in her pre-lay shed right now.

Anyways. She was 500grams when I (accidentally) paired her which is a long story that I'll put in the comments. She is now 524grams.

She is perfectly healthy by the way, and will be laying by the end of this month/beginning of next month.

Her name is Nyx and she has 15 eggs. My friend who is an ultrasound tech and also breeds snakes did an ultrasound on her for me. I added the photos at the end if anyone is interested.

And yes. After she lays, she will be slowly put on a diet.

I just started dead stretching my ears today. I've been pierced for 18 years (since I was a baby. Thanks mother) and I have now gone from 16g to 14g. The one side was completely okay, but the second side stings a little bit and feels a little numb? Or kinda feels heavy? Is this normal or should I take it out?

Photo of how it looks. I used Jojoba oil

I'm pretty sure my cat got to one of my snakes. She got out of her enclosure.

​

The scratches didn't puncture the muscle, but there are missing scales? It's not a bite since it's only on one side. Should she be okay?

​

I've rinsed it out with some sterile saline like the vet told me to do, but they don't have any openings until next month. They're the only exotic vet in a 5-hour radius.

​

I'm genuinely so disgusted with myself. I cannot believe I let this happen.

Is my Tobacco Hornworm (who mu brother lovingly name Demetrius) a male or female?

I assume it's just an area that was either warm or didn't fire up, because it's colored like her normal light grey color, but I'm paranoid all the time.

It feels completely normal, and she's acting normal too

I just had an ultrasound done on both of my new female corn snakes. They were paired with a male before I bought them, but the breeder said they weren't showing any signs.

My friend who is an ultrasound tech did an ultrasound on both of them

The first three photos are of the first snake, the last photo is the second snake

This is my almost two year old cat, Syrax. We rushed her to the vet at 01:00 EST because she began hiding with her mouth open and tongue sticking out.

We rushed her to the emergency vet, And they checked for any heart issues but they did not hear or see anything wrong.

They checked your temperature and it was sitting at exactly 106° f

My mom (who used to be a veterinary technician) requested blood work.

It came back and her white blood cell count is elevated, so she has an infection. She's being kept overnight for IV antibiotics and IV fluids.

This cat saved my life after my previous cat passed of old age. Not only did she save my life, but she saved my other cat's life because he spiraled into a very deep depression when my previous cat passed away.

The last picture is both of them cuddling together.

Does anyone else's corn snake lift their head like they're sniffing the air if you touch them when they seem to be sleeping? Like, he nods his head up and down maybe three times and then he's completely normal.

He also sneezed the other day? He's in shed so maybe that had something to do with it. He's never sneezed before. He has no signs of an RI. I checked in his mouth and there was a little bit of saliva but nothing crazy.

Here's some photos of him :)) (Idk why he looks so stiff in the third picture. He's weird?)

I can see the hole kinda when it moves? I got them done on May 3rd.

Is it also okay to up size and downsize as needed?

My male corn snake (he's between 5 and 8 years old) is having some weird scale lifting whenever you drag your finger across his sides or if he kinda backs up while in your hand? It's mainly on his sides.

At first I thought it was a burn, but there's nothing he can burn himself on in his enclosure.

Maybe he's just going into shed?

I don't think it's scale rot because he's acting normal (despite being more active because of mating season)

He's Reverse Okeetee if that helps?? He's 370ish grams and around 5 ft long. He's a big boy, but he might be a little underweight for his length? I'm not too sure.

I can't tell if these are nesting or if they're embedding? They're not uncomfortable, I'm just a bit afraid
