Im not that much into snakes, I've had some wildcaught mexican boas, and a ball python and never had a mayor problem, they were healty and happy.
A month ago I went to a new petshop looking for tarantulas cuz thats what im in to and saw a beautiful black snake, I asked the guy about the snake and he told me they have had the snake for about 3 months already, that she was eating well but that was kinda aggressive so they couldnt sell her and he offered me a good deal. I asked if I could take her out of her tank and the guy told me to be careful and stuff, Im really not scared of getting tagged by a constrictor so I just grabbed the snake and nothing happened.
The first thing that I noticed when opening the tank was a strong smell of rancid snake poo, that was lame, I guess they didnt clean the tank that often because they were afraid of the snake. Anyways, I inspected the snake, she was strong and climby. I noticed some scratches on her skin and also little lumps. Then I saw some darken thing on her chloaca, I took a close look and It seemed to be dried poo, then the guy asked me to leave the snake on the thank so I did and I left the place.
I couldnt resist so I came back 1 week later with the money and bought it cuz besides the bad conditions the snake is beautiful and I belive its not a common specie. I personaly like exotic's so I brought the snake home.
The snake was still very stinky, like poo so the first thing I did was gave her a nice warm bath and she seemed to like it :). The solid dried thing on her chloaca felt off and a little not too deep wound came to sight on the right side of the chloaca.
I let the snake alone for about a week so she could adjust to the new terrarium and stuff and then I feed her, she ate well and she seems to be fine.
Still Im woried about what could the chloaca thing is and also the lumps on her body, those are soft when pressed and seem bigger when the snake is twisted.
My father is veterinarian but he really doesnt know much about reptiles, he's specialized on small species (common pets). He told me to put some stuff on the wound but I dont know if there are better solutions, also want to get rid of the lumps. I have acces to many meds so I could apply them myself.
Thanks in advance guys.
Also sorry for my english :)
