It doesn't happen very often, maybe 3 times out of the last 150 radixs I've raised. Once in a while I will get a snake with a crusty vent. It looks like a scab around that area. The first case I ever saw was with our snake Lucky. We took her to the Vet, he said it was common and called it an abscess. He said, in the wild in would usually heal after it was scraped off on something. It was treated with Silvadene cream and after a month of treatment it healed without any further problems. In one of my groups(28 Radixs-6 months old)I have a snake with this same problem. I was wondering if anyone else has faced this problem. Any ideas on possible causes or prevention. I don't see it as a huge problem but want to avoid it if possible. I don't have any photos since I've already started treatment and have removed the scab area as the Vet did. Thanks for your help.
