In today’s video, I give you an important update on my King Cobra, Rusty. Recently, I noticed some unusual white spots forming on his scales, and I’m not exactly sure what’s causing it. It could be a fungal infection, bacteria, or something else entirely. I’m reaching out to the reptile and exotic animal community for help identifying this issue while I work on getting a qualified exotic vet to check him out ASAP.
Rusty is a massive king cobra and one of the most impressive snakes here at Ryder Ranch in South Florida, so his health is a top priority. If you’ve seen anything like this on your reptiles—or if you’re a vet or experienced keeper—please drop a comment and share your thoughts. This could help not just Rusty, but other venomous snake keepers as well.
Let’s figure this out together. Thanks for watching, and make sure to like, comment, and subscribe if you’re into venomous reptiles, tattoos, and everything wild we do here!
