Hi all.
My big bitey boa (shes 4 and normaly very fiesty) has developed a rather interesting skin disorder( if i can call it that). The tip of her nose and jus past her nostrils looks as if it is scaring and discoloured, like a burn does. The issue is that there is no means to get a burn in the cage and conditions are normal for a boa. The major problem here is that its building up over her nostrils so they blocked. Attempts to partialy clear them, dont work as they blocked after an evening, when i have cleared them it still sounds like theres a blockage down her nose. Now she is breathing but certainly drawing in a lot harder than it should be, and eating would now become a problem.
Could this be some kind of genetic thing here now thats getting worse cause she puffs her throught to breath out through her mouth. This shes always done on occasion but been a normal boa otherwise. Medication?
