Keith,

good pic.  It looks like she has the beginnings of a nasal fungal attack. I've seen quite a bit of that in the last couple of years.

keith,

not sure about the nasal thing, I'll look into it. I know theres a couple of field remedies for blisters etc but they shouldnt be used on the mouth/nose. I was told that listerine works well, but I can't confirm that so best I find out a real treatment.

I was also going to ask a vet if there was/is any possibility of it being linked to the Rabbit mixxy! Mixxy's on the rise again and it seems a strange coincidence that these guys share their burrows and in the last two/three years theres lots of this nasal congestion which ends up rotting the snakes face away - really bad.
