Thank you, if he passes it may take me a couple weeks but I will send it to Susan, My vet here is supposed to let me get a jar and formulin from him. The rest of the collection seem fine, I stocked up on hand sanitizer and antibacterial soap to clean my hands after working with each hatchling. So fingers are crossed for my older snakes.

Bob, you've described the process quite well. Unfortunately, once the first signs appear, the outcome is inevitable.
I too am sorry, and anxious for a specimen in formalin to make it to Susan for examination.

I think you need to get ammonia, too. I would wash your hands in ammonia first, (not straight, 50/50) and then wash with soap. But really, just cut handling down to a minimum. I think I would put them on paper towels and feed in their vivs, even, to avoid handling. And get poo out as soon as you find it! Check a couple times a day! And soak water bowls in ammonia.

And if he dies before you get the formalin, refrigerate him. But the faster you get him into formalin, the less decay of tissues there is.

I will get the amonia, I have been feeding all them in thier tubs, using news paper in the tubs and removing anything I find. I am going to call the vet in the morning to see if I can get the formulin in the morning. I have also contacted the breeder again to keep them aware of what is going on and that I plan on having him tested but it may take me a few days to get all the money needed.
Thank you all again, all the support and kind words are greatly appreciated.

Well, once you have him preserved, then you have all the time you need to save up to test him.

At least it will be a relief to find out what you are dealing with, so you know how to move forward.
