So, I had a problem with this a while ago but I thought I had it under control. I got my boa from a owner that could no longer take care of her and the husbandry was not so well. At the beginning, her sheds were patchy and the skin on the end of her tail wouldn't come off. I soaked it daily and put neosporin on it and eventually the dead shed came off. Sooo, I was cleaning her cage tonight and was looking her over and her tail seems to be infected again. I didn't pull on the skin because I don't want to open the wound but it is loose and seems to have fluid built up underneath it. I assume this fluid is what is infecting the tail? It has a red/purple color to it and the skin is a white/green color. Idk if you can see from the pics but it worries me. If needed, I can take her to the vet but want some kind of input now seeing as the vet is closed
. Should I put some neosporin on it until I can get her to the vet? As of her regular sheds, they come off all in one piece except for the tip of her tail. As soon as I see she has shed, I always look at the tail and soak it under water until it comes off easily. I apparently don't get it all off or something is just wrong.
All the help would be great.
Thanks all,
