Hello everybody, my first post here. I purchased my first Ball Python last week, she is around 50 cms long, 88 gr and around six months. I've done all the research prior hand and she (not sure of the sex but let's stick to she for now) has settled in just fine. Had the first feeding already.
Unfortunately couple of days ago I realised she was sold to me with mites and it's been very difficult and stressful, all the research I did was based on basic care and nothing mites related. Anyway, she is undergoing the treatment right now (ivermectin spray 1 ml per 100 ml of water, as advised by the pet, we don't get that prevent a mite thing here in Europe).
As I was handling her this morning, I noticed something that looks like a protruding bone or something similar, it's very small, and might be normal, but I thought I'd ask to more experience people just in case it might be something dangerous. I have added some pics so you can see what I mean.
Does any of you know what that could be and if it might be dangerous for the snake?
Thanks a lot!
