I took in a young anaconda a week or so ago and he is in horrible shape.I took him to the exotic vet that I have worked for and used over the last few years.
He has a severe case of scale rot on the lower portion of his body(it has improved a great deal since I got him home) and he has blister disease and the worst case I have ever seen in my 13 years experience(The blisters were in his nose,mouth and covering one eye,as well as the entire underside of his body).I have been using panalog cream(I also have neosporin w/o pain releiver) and peroxide twice daily as directed.I have been gently and carefully piercing the blisters and absorbed all fluid with cotton and then "doctored" the areas(I typed this treatment process out of the order in which I do it,but you get the idea).
In his cage at this time is a small water dish,paper towels and a hide and nothing else.
I am looking for any tips and suggestions that you all might have to help me make this guys healing process quicker and get him on the road to a better life.
I understand that you all might jump to the conclusion that I am an inexperienced keeper or that you might have the urge to "lecture" me on the dangers of keeping anaconda's.I am always open to constuctive criticism but this is not needed in this case. I need your help in saving this snake.I brought him home because the only alternative was to leave him there to suffer and then die and to me that was not an option.I do not intend on keeping him permanently but I am keeping him until he is completely healed and eating etc. Then I will take on the task of placing him in an appropriate home.


If you have ANY advice or tips and tricks to help,please post it!!I am appreciative of all the help I can get.
Thank you so much!
If I left out any info that is needed please let me know and I will supply everything I can about him.
