This is more a thank you note to all of you guys in this forum
I had got my 2 year old BP last year from an irresponsible pet shop (they had housed him in a bird cage ffs). Being a new owner, before deciding to purchase this snake I had done lots of research into what is required for the species and the environment it requires thrive. I bought Monty home and after some time realized that he had a severe respiratory infection and mite infestation; he could not breathe properly and the mites had weakened his immune system. Following the various advice I got from you guys and help with a vet, I am happy to report that Monty is now fully recovered and doing better then ever. It took months of care letting him heal, giving him his space and just making sure all the basic needs are met. It wasn't difficult, but more about being prudent and understanding the needs of the animal in question - which is a *ball python* above all else. Not trying to bash anyone here but maybe some people can learn a lesson with my experience as I was horrified to read some the threads.
Anyway here is a funny video I recorded of Monty's meal the other night.
