URGENT: Need Advice About Ball Python Swollen Face

[GoldKingCobra]

I don't like how the swelling is also affecting his eye socket. That's approaching dangerous territory there. Especially if the swelling is still increasing.

What is Polter eating? Is this possibly a rodent bite?
Is this bioactive soil one you purchased? Or did you collect it?


I worry that if this isn't a pushing injury, this could be a bacterial or fungal infection which definitely would need medical intervention

Edit: Also! How long has this swelling been happening? How long has he been in iso? Some people call a week a couple of days... Some mean 2 days. Lol

Poltergeist was eating frozen thawed rats. I never feed live. The soil is a reptile-made one off of Amazon. I think it's from Zilla, called forest jungle mix. I also added bioactive charcoal soil from Josh's frogs. The majority of the bedding is coconut chips also from Amazon that are made for reptiles.
