    HELP! The front of my ball pythons snout is dry/deformed

    Since I bought my ball python about 2 months ago the front of her snout/nose has been dry/deformed I ve looked everywhere online for answers but nothing similar to it comes up. I don t know what the cause of it is because I keep the humidity in the tank at 50%-60% and the temperature at 82-92 degrees and I don t know if I should take her to a vet for it. Help!

    a picture will help others to help you, also a descriptive breakdown of temp/humidity monitoring, heat source(s) and other conditions your snake lives in.

    Really hard to say without seeing it.

    Most nose issues I have seen are from a snake rubbing and smushing its face against things trying to get someplace they shouldn't.

    Have you noticed the snake constantly trying to get out or constantly on the move?

    As the others said... with no pics we can't really help. Then it all depends on what kind of morph you have, if you happen to have a super cinnamon then it may be that it has what is called a duckbill, mishaped heads or cleft jaws, but it is really unlikely it is your case.
