Pics of my first boy! Briskets progression thread

I finally got some clearer pictures of my new Leopard Jigsaw "Brisket".

He wasn't super happy, but I wanted to get some pics of his face/mouth because I noticed some spots on his face that have me a little concerned, but that is for a different thread. This thread will be to document Brisket's progress as he grows and develops. I don't have a weight or anything yet but I will as soon as he poops.

Beautiful snake!

Sorry, I have no experience with those spots. However you may want to follow two other current threads with the same issue.

He's gorgeous!!

Do you keep him in a rack? I had some snakes show very similar sores on their lower lip, either on one side, or symetrically on both sides. I consulted a veterinarian, and he told me that he saw very similar sores on animals in another collection. He said that the other collection was also kept in tubs in a rack, and that the problem ended up being that there was enough of a gap between the tub and the rack that as the Ball Python tries to explore and escape, it rubs a sore (or two) on the lower lip. When I checked my collection, sure enough, all of the snakes with the sores ended up being active snakes in tubs with a small gap between the top of the tub and the rack. I have shimmed under the front of those tubs and all the sores have healed up.

I have him in a T-8. He was in a Vision rack prior at the breeder. I contacted him and showed him the picture and he said the mark on the front may be a bite from a mouse since he feeds live. That makes the most sense to me since none of his other snakes have ever shown any sign od disease. So I am thinking either a bit or rub. I'll watch it and see how it goes.

He's looking good bro. You're a very proud new parent. I don't think that little sore is anything to worry about. Just keep an eye on it. The only thing i noticed is you had 11/19/15 as his DOB. That would make him a giant hatchling. haha
