• Answer:

  i am so glade i found you my friend this could be very very dangerous this sounds like mouth rot if un treated this could lead to death it will spreed to his bones the best way to check this out is to Look inside your snake's mouth to check for signs of mouth rot These include thick mucous holding the mouth open pus bleeding cheesy discharge and excessive saliva Treat the mouth rot if it is a mild case using an anti fungal medication from a pet store or veterinarian. The bottle should indicate that it's intended to cure mouth rot. The medication will probably be in a powder form which you need to dilute with water Using an eyedropper or medicine dropper wash out the snake's mouth Follow the package instructions Take your snake to the veterinarian if the mouth rot seems to be a severe case or is not getting better after you treated it with the anti fungal medication Your snake likely needs further care The veterinarian will take a sample from the snake's mouth and possibly a sample of blood to test for the severity of the infection Realize that if the infection is extremely severe your snake may have to undergo surgery to have affected tissues removed Injected medications may also be necessary
