While I was cleaning up one of my Ball python enclosures, I thought of something that could be very helpful to those who think there is something wrong with their Ball python. I see TONS of threads asking "Does my Ball python have RI?" so this got me thinking, there should be a Ball python disease thread to educate those who don't know much about the diseases. The thread may include anything of infectious diseases, non infectious diseases (such as bone problems, organ failures, etc.), external parasites (mites, ticks, etc.), internal parasites (worms), and anything you can think of that would cause problems in a Ball python.
So no false information gets in the thread, here is what I'm thinking: Send me a PM saying what disease you would like to have posted in the thread, and I will ask you if you know what causes it, how to treat it, the symtoms, etc. so if you really know your stuff on that disease I'll give you the OK and you send me a PM (not copied from a site) all about the disease so I can put it up on the thread. Note that there will be other people wanting to do the same disease you want to do so I will choose the best out of all answers.
I would love as many diseases on this thread as possible so when someone asks a question if their Ball python has a disease or they want to know how to get rid of something you can always post up the link to the thread so they can go to it or tell them how to get to the thread. You CAN post links of other threads that tell you how to treat something such as what to use to get rid of mites or how to get rid of mites.
Would this be a good/helpful thread to make, in your opinion?
