    Please help identify my possible butter bee's strange markings/wound
    Hello All,
    I have a two part question so I am not sure where to post but since health is my number one concern I will post here. I bought a female ball python on craigslist. She was advertised as a Butter Bee; however, she looked very pale, almost diminished. When I ask the owner about it she then stated that she was Het for Hypo and that the purchased price was over $800.00 at Reptile Show. Now the snake has weird orange bumps all along her body and they looked like bites. The container was very dirty and after the owner told me that she likes to be cold around 70 degrees I knew I had to rescue her. I paid $300.00 and would like to know if the consensus agrees that she is a Butter Bee Het Hypo and if someone can please help me identify the orange markings on her that may or may not be some type of ant bites or something; not sure, what does the group think?
    Thanks,
    Keisha

    Thanks dilllan2020, Since I am unfamiliar with the Butter Bee I was hoping those marks might be some type of identification for a Butter Bee.

    OK, I will do that is the Silver sulfadiazine used on the other thread because it was a more sever case?
