Got it. This was the spot where I had also applied neosporin before knowing about silver sulfa. If the scale health was already poor, is it possible...

If you haven't already, you should also reconsider putting him on paper towels to keep the newly exposed skin clean.

I agree! If anything, I've seen some vets give B-vitamins- but other vitamins in excess can be harmful (toxic).

I wouldn't treat with with vitamin supplements without a vet's approval. Snakes usually get all the vitamins they need from their prey. Adding...

I had a theory on this: I don’t know that this guy used a thermostat and Sunny has wobble of the corkscrew variety. (He had since he was bought from...

Just keep in mind that when people give up their unhealthy pets to others, they don't always tell the truth about how the animal "got that way". ...

yeah he’s not super thin…crackly dry. But not too thin. Any chance that untreated mites could have damaged him that badly? He had a LOT. Second:...

Your bp doesn't seem thin, so I wouldn't ordinarily think he has a disease caused by a vitamin deficiency, but something is causing his scales to...

My search for the lifespan of a Boelen's python says 15 years is average. Average, by definition, means some may live longer than 15 years, while...

Tinley is an experience I desperately hope to have one day. I have lots of family in Illinois, literally, my mom and sister moved there my first year...

Man I really hope not…that seems really involved and awful for him.

I looked over this yesterday. I’ll go give it some more attention and see.

Thanks for the kind words I'm definitely excited. Some fun names, but I'll have to find something that is sort of in line with my interests I guess...

Could this be the beginning of slipped skin disease? It's caused by a vitamin deficiency and it usually shows up in neglected snakes. Here a long...

What! No pics? You go to Tinley and you don't post pics. Come on, man! Don't be stingy. Share. Let us live vicariously through you.

Bit of an update here: my vet can’t get to him for a couple weeks so we are doing the Betadine bath every few days. I also gave him an electrolyte...

She is a boelens python and yes, I'm sure about her age. I've had her since she was 3 months old. That what I was afraid of, cancer since my vet...

What a gorgeous snake! I'm sure he'll turn out stunning as he grows. As for names, I can't say I'm good with them, but a few things pop into mind...

I'm getting incredibly frustrated with my A. germani... All the other slings have either eaten or, in the case of my curly hair, are in premolt as...

How long has it been since the last vet visit? Maybe there's some things that weren't checked for, things that are much less common. And there are...

Even more important than the pics are your descriptions of his behavior. These will be very helpful to those considering getting a Bredli of their...

Those are GREAT pictures :D (don't stop) & he's obviously settling in quickly because of all your hard work setting up his home.:gj: Providing a...

Love 'em! Keep 'em coming.

Reviewing progression threads can be a fun way to learn what it's like to keep different species. I found the following: Aspidites melanocephalus...

That is an unusually beautiful ball python. I've seen a lot of bp, but I haven't seen anything like that. Amazing!

Congratulations on the new pick up. He's just beautiful.

Thank you! Thank you! :) Thanks! I was brainstorming along the lines of something more elaborate...maybe in 10-15 years creating an art museum...

Welcome to the club. Pics of your bp and set up will help us advise you. This forum also has an excellent caresheet. Good luck at the vet. Let us...

necro’ing this thread because I’ve got a hot lead on something - so i know that Sulawesi is not connected to mainland SE Asia and is an “island...
