Snake fungal disease
Snake fungal disease (SFG) is a novel pathogen affecting snakes in North America, particularly in the midwestern- and eastern United States, but has recently been detected in the Midwest as well. It is a fungal dermatitis that affects the scales of reptiles. Occurrence frequency began spiking in snakes in 2006.
