i took my ball python out on saturday to show a friend and realize that she has brown around the edges of a lot of scales on her belly and they look eaten away in spots.
she is literally minutes away from a shed, i can't believe she hasn't yet actually. could this be causing the brown? ive never really examined her right before a shed because i like to leave her be when shes shedding as ive read you should.
shes about 1.5 years old and has been 100% perfect. perfect cycles, comes out climbs around as soon as its dark, sleeps during day. almost always has had a flawless shed, eats dead mice (now rats), within minutes every time.
the last two times i tried to feed her however she didn't eat. then i noticed this discoloration. i assume the two go hand in hand.
i had an appointment at the vet today, but had to cancel since it decided to get super cold and snow and i don't have my car atm and couldn't walk 20 minutes with her in the snow.
so i figured i'd get some info on here beforehand...
here is a photo i just took.
