I took my ball python to the vet for RI cause I heard the clicking and he said he couldn't hear and sent me on my wAy. after charging me of course. now it's gotten MUCH worse and he has tiny sores developing in the lower corners of his mouth. I'm trying to find another vet but what can I do for now?

hes got herpies.

i dont know

Definitely find another vet, preferably one that has a lot of experience with reptiles.

Mouth rot may begin with mild symptoms such as increased salivation. Often saliva bubbles from the mouth. Close inspection of the oral lining reveals tiny pinpoint areas of bleeding. the oral lining becomes increasingly inflamed.
In very bad cases the cheesy pus on the mouth is present, and teeth begin to fall out. If it gets to this point, your snake may need surgery.

Treatment involves use of topical and injectable antibiotics. for now, turn up the heat in the tank a few degrees, but not too hot because the snake may get dehydrated. Daily applications of hydrogen peroxide, or Listerine with a cotton swab may help.

Hi,

Can an std take 12 years to show symptoms?

Syphillis, has an initial infection of a sore that goes away, and then is
asymptomatic for a number of years. But during this time it is slowly destroying the body. Al Capone went crazy and died from end stage syphillis. And everyone has heard of AIDS. Someone can be HIV positive and have no symptoms untill they get the AIDS.

I had a friend that was in a relationship 10 years prior to receiving the news that she had HIV. She thought that she just had pneumonia, she died within the year. it can happen but please take precautions to make sure that it doesn't happen to you.

Absolutely.
STD's like AIDS and Herpies can be hidden for years.
Get tested.

It could. best thing to do is just get checked if you are worried you have something.

Yea…it can pass through breast milk ya know?? That's how I got it.
