some advice on rex

we got rex from a family tht just couldnt be bothered with him no more but hes got something wrong with his tail its almost like it has no skin on it .. its a little difficult to explain. i can take a pic if tht will help. its on the very extreme tip of his tail and they said it was cos he struggled to shed one time but i dont know it doesnt seem right to me.

Re: some advice on rex

it could be he's flicked it to hard (they sometimes flick thier tails if threathened) or hes had a bad shed

Our king snake hit her tail and caused damage we bathed it in a very mild hibiscrub every day and dried it throughly it cleared up really well

Do you have a vet who knows anything about snaked near you?x

Re: some advice on rex

when we got our first corn snake we had one in the town as we checked that out and had to take him once i rang and asked about this and they said he no longer works there and none of others could see him as it had to be a vet that had experience in snakes. i asked for a phone number for one in our area and they said as far as they know there isnt one hence posting on here. ill try get a pic to show u what i mean might make it a bit clearer ty though for your advice

Re: some advice on rex

What type of snake is Rex and where are you? What are his temps & humidity?
