New Ordinoides Photos

[KephrenJorgensen]

I had a friend bring over his camera after the one I borrowed from school turned out to suck. The pictures are pretty nice I can actually tell the difference between the babies now. Anywho, here they are.P1050322.jpgP1050328.jpgP1050333.jpgP1050334.jpgP1050329.jpg

Very nice. The most underrated and under kept Thamnophis species. I'm hope to have a nice breeding program in place over the next few years.

. The babies with the most visible patterns are the ones that eat the most. I am going to brumate the non eaters soon. The mom and her other P1050338.jpgP1050339.jpgP1050340.jpgP1050346.jpgP1050319.jpg3 babes

Looks like the snake in the last photo might have a lip infection or am I off base?

OOO Very pretty! I do see the swollen looking area on her top left lip also.

Thank you for sharing. They are very nice looking sweeties.

At first I thought it was her scale being out of place from a fish tail, so I just cut her food up way smaller. If it is a swollen lip what might I do about it?

Can you post a photo of the lip are?
First identify it is swollen. Sometimes retained lip scales will make them look that way.
Here is a photo of my girl Lucky. If you look at her upper lip you can see the slight swollen area.
Treatment from my vet. consisted of poking the lip area with a sterile needle. According to him it releases the infection by causing it to bleed.
It worked great and she only had a small scar from the procedure.
I use the same practice on the Ranch. I use a needle on a diabetic syringe. They are cheap and work great.
The second photo shows the lip still out but that is from the scar tissue.
