I got my first ball python in September. For quite a while recently, he wasn't eating. That worried me alot. But he looked like he was about to shed so I let him be for a while. After way too long, he finally shed and started eating again (eating alot, I might add). While he wasn't eating, I noticed his upper lips looked odd. Kind of brown and unhealthy looking. Then he developed a patch on his side that looked the same. It didn't go away after he shed.
I think he's got a bit of scale rot and I've been trying to find some good treatments. But I'm not sure if there's a treatment that's safe to use around his mouth to get his lips looking better (I think that might have been why he wasn't eating).
any advice? please?
