What Should You Do If a Snake Gets Stomatitis? A Detailed Guide to Prevention and Treatment
After snakes first wake from hibernation, their bodies are weak and thin, and certain harmful bacteria invade the snake's neck, causing swollen stomatitis. The sick snake's mouth stays open and cannot close, it cannot swallow food, and ultimately it starves to death from not eating or drinking. The treatment method is: rinse the sick snake's mouth with normal saline, then wipe both jaws with gentian violet solution, rinsing and applying once each per day, and continue until the inflammation subsides and the swelling goes down.
