This is in response to the person who left me negative feedback for my post in the "BP Soaking" thread. There was no name, otherwise I could have addressed you privately.

I stated that a ball python MAY soak because it is afflicted with scale rot. Other perfectly valid explanations had already been made. I did not contradict them.

This was based on my OWN experience, with my four snakes. The ONLY time I have ever seen a ball python soak in the last year that I've owned them was in the case of my 06 girl who I discovered, after two days of near continuous soaking, had SCALE ROT. She did not have mites, and was not in shed or too hot although those may be other reasons for soaking. She did not soak before and has not soaked since.

How can you say that I gave wrong advice? My only "advice" in this thread was to look for pink spots. That is what scale rot CAN look like, maybe not always, but that again is my own personal experience.

I was only trying to help.
