Very pretty, although you cannot a Het or Possible Het for yellowbelly since it is a Co-dominant trait.

hmm ok... I'm sure thats my fault not the guy who sold her to us

I confuse easily.

So basically shes got somethink lurking genetically we just have to strike upon it?

sigh. so the two that I got from the same man both have belly/scale rot.

I'm working dillegently to fix this but it's a bit out of my scope. we have NO herp vets in the area unless I drive hours to TN.

The receipt says "sold as is" on it but do I still have a right to complain to him about selling me sick snakes? i've only had them a few weeks and it's been getting worse since the 1st weekend we had them home.

the 2nd snake is healing better than the 1st... most of her injuries were on the body, but the 1st snakes are mostly belly. I'm soaking him in antbacterial ( novalsan) soap and water and treating with neosporn on a q tip ( really getting it under the affected scales) but his belly is about a foot of irritated, pussy scales and about a foot of decent scales.

looking worse than above, but better than the day after the soak/scrub treatment- the scales that appear brown now were BRIGHT red the day after. Today is day 3 and they are looking less infected I guess.... still going to soak again tomorow and rescrub.
