[@loriw2661]

When I was a Vet tech years ago, we did a lot of reptile work. Kevin, you did a great job releasing that fluid. No infection detected and hopefully it was a hematoma and the rest will be reabsorbed. If it comes back, the lymphatic system may be the cause. I doubt it’s a foreign body since it had just hatched. Please give us an update. I figured you’d go back in for the sacks on the 2nd snake and she looks great. You may need small drains for them when you stitch them up. These are my favorite videos because it brings me back to the best time of my life, when I worked at the emergency animal hospital. So thank you!!🐍❤️🐍

Before you started to drain all that fluid, I did wonder if it might already have permanent brain damage. I'd be really intetested in following its progress. Frankly, I think you did a great job and a wonderful thing, another breeder might have just left it for dead.

I might think the brain would be ok, since the fluid was collecting outside the skull. It would be like having a giant abscess on your scalp; still no fun, but it’s not impeding on your brain. Either way, I’m sure the snake felt a million times better, and is much better off than if he had just left it,

[@celtzen]

Fingers crossed for the little one - the change in his behaviour was really interesting once the pressure of the edema lessened up - I love this stuff!

[@allanabradshaw-mann6747]

My only concern with draining that amount of fluid at once would be a massive drop in blood pressure, as one the loss of the fluid being removed but also if the animal has an underlying issue causing fluid to leak from the cardiovascular system that once its drained that it will then loose further fluid. Hopefuly as its young it can cope with this maybe whatever is causing the leaking will resolve.

[@Splintz246]

I felt like it should have been brought to a vet to be properly assessed they could have done an x-ray or CT scan to see where the edema is coming from

[@areyoumadbroxd6861]

@Caitlin S Unfortunately NERD is too lazy to take time out of their day to take the snake to the vet and they don’t want to spend money on proper Vetrinarian care on an animal they’re meant to sell because that defeats the purpose of the profit. Nerd has lied on multiple occasions that they don’t have any exotic reptile Vetrinarians around. Well doing a simple Google search I found two licensed Reptile Vetrinarians within a 60 minute drive. They make more excuses that reptiles feel pain differently as if that completely justifies the fact that they’re illegally preforming unlicensed Vetrinary care and cutting reptiles open and performing surgeries without any pain management what so ever. Where I come from, that’s highly illegal to not only deny an animal that needs proper Vetrinary care but to go ahead and treat the animal themselves when they’re not even fully sure of what they’re doing or what they’re dealing with…because…oh, Jee, I don’t know, they NEVER went to school to learn how to properly be a Vetrinarian! It makes me mad when I see this time and time again, video after video they are too lazy and selfish to give these animals the proper Vetrinary care they deserve.

[@therealmakemeknowit]

Kevin has more experience with snakes than probably most of the vets in the area. They probably call him for advice. He noted that it wasn't normal and he was just trying to help the little guy. Why do you even watch if you are going to hate? Do you even listen when you watch or just come to complain?

[@stephenserna7560]

@@areyoumadbroxd6861 calm down man. Let the man decide how he wants to handle his snakes. When you have your own snakes.. you go pay thousands of dollars for simple veterinary work.

[@darcieclements4880]

@@Splintz246 You are expecting way too much from vets. This is exactly the extent of what they would be able to do. It isn't coming from one location, this animal has hydrops fetalis, it's coming from everywhere. Kevin actively develops veterinary techniques, he is a grade above a vet, not below them though his instrument skill will be lower since he does not use them day in and day out. As someone who has worked with vets multiple times to develop treatments for exotic animals with rare conditions, I can tell you right now that most vets simply can not handle these cases without a biologist in tow and they depend entirely on us for research and data because they can not pull from experience for this kind of thing. Formulating the plan is a team effort though as they usually have better surgical skills etc. For someone with as much experience as Kevin, it doesn't make sense to delay treatment while trying to find a vet that can squeeze him into their schedule. Heck, even the vets I work with have told me on multiple occasions that I don't need them and can go ahead and give it a shot on my own and if I hit something I can't source (like an antibiotic) to call them then.

[@laurenosborne1512]

Kevin is really good at doctoring the reptiles when problems arise. I do enjoy watching the problems resolve on camera and knowing the animals are going to be okay.

The clear fluid could be spinal fluid, reminded me of when babies are born with water on the brain. They would normally have a shunt inserted to drain the fluid to their stomach.

[@catherinegeorge3800]

Yeah made me wonder the same thing. Other animals get it so I suppose these could too

[@lue5776]

Hydrocephalus?

[@melissahotta8641]

Hydrocephalus is what I was thinking, but then again it looks like it has edema lower in the body too, down by the tail. I wonder if it has some type of vascular deficiency? Very interesting.

[@cassipenley1627]

I am experiencing this with a baby I produced last year, but it's clear fluid alone. Which of the 2 fluids would you suspect in this instance? The yearling is a suspected super cinnamon, super mojave. I can't find any others that have lived with this combo so i am curious if its fatal combo, hopefully someone more experienced can help. I didnt not intend to breed super cinnamons. Mom was supposed to be a cinnamon mojave. Dad was supposed to be single gene banana. Based off the clutch, the now suspected pairing is cinnamon mojave × banana, cinnamon/black pastel, mojave. May have been from our male, his parents were supposed to be normal female to banana mojave male from a very reputal breeder, they did confirm from photos he was single gene banana. He has way more keyholes than alien heads so I did suspect the mojave we even took bets. But I didn't see cinnamon coming. The clutch was full of spinal kinking, cleft lips, duck billing. 4 of the 6 eggs did not hatch. They were suspected to be: 1 banana super cinnamon, 1 super mojave (alive and healthy), 1 set of triplets super cinnamon super mojave, 2 super cinnamon super mojaves, and 1 super cinnamon super mojave (alive). She has no kinking, a very small head, clear fluid under skin surface, dramatically worsens with normal size feeding( I have been managing her with small), neurological symptoms and a concaved esophagus. After a 3 day stay with our exotic vet they confirmed that it was a genetic defect associated to the morph. Any thoughts and expertise are greatly appreciated.

[@mommamurphy7123]

[@hootilyhoot]

Vet tech here. It looks like a seroma. Likely trauma based but interesting it came out from the egg though. Unfortunately, it will probably fill back up. The body doesn't like empty spaces so it fills it up with fluid. You may need to use some vet wrap and put a bit of a pressure wrap on him. Also, they typically take weeks to heal and you may have to redrain it, but it's a catch 22 since you also might introduce bacteria into the seroma. Clean it well before draining. They often take a few weeks to clear up.

Yes he's no vet, but nobody knows more about their animals than breeders do, especially if they've been doing it for yrs and yrs. So if you pay attention to your animals, see something wrong then don't just dismiss it and euthanize it, cause there is no vet and you aren't a vet.

If that happens again, it might cost a bit of money, but I would take a sample of that fluid, and send it off to a lab for analysis, knowing exactly what it's made of can help you figure out where it comes from. For example, if it has low plasma but very high red blood cells, it might be the kidneys. Or if it contains high amounts of gut flora, it might stem from the intestinal tract. Knowing more will help you save another, should another similar case pops up.

Would love an update on that snake later and if you have any new theories on why it happened. Makes you wonder how long it had been sitting in that egg with all that fluid. Enjoyed the end photage as well. :)

Loved seeing the wood turtle content in the end. I find herping videos so interesting

[@marshalleng1933]

Well done! Would love to see the update on this little guy!

[@angieverrall5060]

Kevin this content is so interesting. I love watching you with the animals and trying to make sure they live a happy life. You are so dam smart. -Angie

I had something like that happen to my great Dane's ear. We had to drain it multiple times until I finally made a slightly larger hole so it could drain on its own. After the larger hole, it cleared up in a few days.

Great video, great info, Thank you!! These medical videos are much appreciated!

*Kevin should bring his camera out more often. People who don't get out to the country too much will love it.*

[@philcavallini9657]

We all more or less do the same thing regarding exotic animal procedures. Whether a fish or snake, etc many vets dont have the experience or the ability to work on such creatures.....

[@ginaritz1773]

[@NewEnglandReptile]

[@_Moonlight92]

That was crazy how much liquid was in that baby! 😱 Glad the other snake is doing well! And awesome to see the turtles!

[@Spikypotato.]

How on earth can this patient be SOO CALM? You are draining his entire head and he is like ”ok guess it was one of those days..” respect little noodle.

[@lionessroarsjohnson2684]

Poor little guy. Let everyone know how this snake is doing. He was such a trooper through the whole thing.💉🐍

[@carlhoppe]

Kevin, you’re an absolute legend bro! 🤘🏻👌🏻👍🏻

[@youraveragehizashi3815]

its so cute how the whole time he's just in a ball!

[@normalhuman9878]

He didn’t even try to bite! I’m glad you were able to help the little guy

[@mrmouse-ol9pw]

I'm not sure anyone in the snake keeping hobby has helped the community more than Kevin. I have my fav breeders, but none of them have done more for all of us than him. Bro ur a legend. Most, including myself would have culled this animal

[@mizzshortie907]

That was incredible! Also did we ever get an update on that turtle 🐢 that had to get the ball remover on that mass??

[@rax4570]

thank you for getting straight to the video and not click baiting
