Ball Python Mouth Rot?

[Barca123]

Hi, guys - ive kept a Ball for just under a year now and I keep reading about mouth rot and respitary Illnessess and what not, but to be honest I'm none the wiser for what to look out for - I have included some piccys to help you guys help me out. If you want me to take more I would be glad to.
Im pretty anxious to find out whether she has anything wrong with her.



Thanks guys - just needing some expert advice

Hey! I'm no pro on this, but is there a reason you think something is wrong with her? Or are you just wanting to make sure? I guess Im saying is she showing any symptoms of anything?

u need pics inside her mouth not outside her mouth

[Barca123]

Not really - She eats every mouse i give her - she climbs all the time and she goes to the toilet quite regularly.
What is the easiest way to hold her mouth open - just slightly anxious about doing that

doesnt look like there is anything wrong with that snake but those pics are pretty bad to tell anything. i wouldnt worry.

you taught your snake to use the toilet?

Climbing all the time is not normal BP behaviour. Make sure you have at least two identical tight fitting hides. Do not allow her to climb high enough to hurt herself if she falls.

Otherwise from the pictures she looks fine. No need to force her mouth open and stress her out if there seems to be nothing wrong with her. If you see any liquid coming from her mouth and/or she is making wheezing sounds, then there may be a problem.

I am pretty sure he was just joking..

no but im guessing you are?

There was no need for that.

To the OP, I would not worry about her. If you start seeing things that are not normal for her, then I would take her to the vet for a check. A ball python that climbs all the time is not normal behavior and I would make sure her temperature and humidity are correct. If both of those are fine, then take a look at her enclosure and make sure she has two identical hides, one on either side, and an appropriately sized water dish.
