Hello all.
I am a new python owner. Have a beautiful little girl I saved named Cleopatra (Cleo). I've had this snake for 4 weeks now I think after I saved her from a Petsmart that was starving her since she was not eating the f/t mice. I took her in because I felt so bad for her. However I'm not experienced in this field. And so I have tons of questions.
1. Is my set up alright for her? I've got the one side at about 92 and the other 71. I know 92 is high but it's hard to control when I'm not home during the day. Is there any concerns? I'm still learning humidity though so any tips would be help. I also have a light and pad combo rn where I ha e the light on during the day and the pad on by the night. Is this alright to be doing?
2. I've gotten her to eat finally (yay!!) But it's now been about 2 weeks so should I be concerned? She mostly chills in either den set up so I assume she's not hungry but Idk she is still young. I do not know how old she is all I know is she's probably less than 6 months. She also tends to sun herself when I have the light on sometimes. Is this normal?
3. I noticed this odd spot on her head as well as these weird scales near her cloaca. Is this any cause for alarm? I am still looking for a vet but I want to know if this is cause for alarm.
I'm mostly worried about question 3 since I'm still new to this and concerned for her health. I'll be attaching many photos so that you all can see everything. Feedback is much needed and appreciated! Thank you!!
