Mouth rot in Albino Ball Pythons is an inflammation of the mouth or oral cavity. The condition may first appear as small hemorrhages on the gums or as large amounts of mucus in the mouth. It can also appear on the inside edge of the mouth near the lip area. One of the primary causes of mouth rot is stress. Sometimes when Albino Ball Pythons become stressed their immune system becomes weak and unable to maintain the bacteria found in the mouth. The buildup of bacteria leads to an infection which in turn can lead to mouth rot. Other causes of mouth rot include inappropriate regulation of temperature in the snake’s living environment, overcrowding, internal or external parasites, trauma, or poor nutrition. A Vitamin C deficiency and improper calcium or phosphorous levels can also be a cause. An exam may be required by your veterinarian Las Vegas, NV in order to make an official diagnosis. Click here.
