I found an Albino Garden Snake

[WarriorPrincess]

What should I do?

[guidofatherof5]

That's a good question.
To treat or not to treat, that is the question.
I'm not sure what to say. You can treat it with some betadine or other products.
A weak tea water/betadine solution and a q-tip.
Many times these thing will heal on their own.

I don't see any photo of this snake.

You guys got me worried about casper What do I do now?

[guidofatherof5]

Don't mean to worry you but you need to be aware there could be a problem.
I don't think this is serious but it is something to keep an eye one.
You have a few choices:
1. Do nothing and monitor the situation.
2. Treat with betadine/hibiclen.
3. Take to a Vet. for evaluation and possible treatment.

At this point this is not a "lose sleep" situation.

Casper is doing well.

Thank you Steve I don't want to cause Casper any harm.

You are doing a great job for Casper. She looks plump and happy.

I'm not an expert with injuries or wounds, so I can't comment too much on that. The underside photo did look different though. If you want, I have a phone number to a great vet here in WA. They answer a lot a of questions over the phone too. Maybe you could email the photo to them and talk to them over the phone. PM me if you want the number. Steve is a fabulous resource for situations like this though.

Keep us posted.

When my snake's lip was doing that on one side last year, I used Hibiclens to treat it. I put a couple of drops of hibiclens in a cup of water and dabbed it on the area a couple of times a day with a Q-tip and it cleared up. I wouldn't think doing this could harm the snake so you could go ahead and give it a try. If you are going to call a vet, which was suggested and perhaps you could get that number from Kat...that would be even better of course. It's always better to overreact than underreact...that's my feeling on questionable issues with snakes...so don't lose sleep...but get it checked to be safe.

I'll pick up some hibiclens after work tomorrow. Does anyone know a good source for fresh worms in the Portland Area. I've been buying night crawlers at BiMart but I don't feel they are as fresh as they should be and I don't like Casper eating whatever they are packed in. I don't know what it is but when I cut them up I can see they eat their packing material. Worms from outside are hard to find lately cause of the cold but Casper loves the ones I get from the ground so much more then the fishing bait ones. Is anyone going to the Reptile show in Wilsonville this weekend?
Thank You everyone for the medical advice

You cn put the worms in a container with some dirt and bone meal for a week or 2 before feeding them to casper, it makes it a lot more healthy for them.
