Injured Python?

Well I have a ball python and I realized she has a small red bump near her mouth opening, I was wondering what this could of come from and how I could help her heal ...

Its been getting feed pre-killed mice at the local reptile store.

I am certainly not an expert in this area, however, the sore could be from a few different things. It could have rubbed against sumthin, it could have taken a prey item that was just a little bit too big & stretched its skin just a little bit too far, it could have caught a claw of a mouse on it while eating (they are VERY clumbsy little creatures) or a variety of other things. Without knowing what it looks like or if it is a cut or what, we really have a tough time being able to help you heal it. A pic would help greatly if you have one.

It could easily be mouth rot beginning as well. If you have a reptile vet in your area (check www.arav.org if you don't have a vet yet), I would recommend a vet visit. If that is not an option, applying neosporin daily and skipping a feeding to avoid aggravating the wound would be a prudent course of action.

I had the same problem with Jojo i was keeping the humidity too high. Unknown to me my digital hygrometer\thermometer was malfunctioning and was giving me false readings. It was telling me it was warmer then it was and that it was more humid then it really was. Go to the vet its not something that will just go away it has to be treated with a fungicide. After about a week the sore will go away and will be gone in the next shed. Good luck and welcome to the best dang Ball Python forum in the world.

Yeah I think it might be from trying to eat a prey to large, because the day I was getting it, he tried to feed it a gigantic mice that it couldn't take down, and he tried shoving it down its move, "assisting" he says ... I'll have a picture up in a while.

If you feed live, the mouse could have gotten a bite in during constriction. And whats this "assisting" thing you were talking about?

This seems kinda sketchy....

The mice are prekilled, but shoved down throat of the snake basically, since the ball is still a baby.

Why, let him eat on its own. No matter what age a ball python is they are not like mammals where they have to learn from example. Snakes have a very strong feeding instint. I have had baby ball pythons that eat prekilled mice on thier own. Shoving a mouse down the ball pythons throat could potentially injure your snake. What you are doing is force feeding which is very stressful for the snake and they will actually burn more calories trying to fight you then there are in the prey item. It could discourge your snake from eating because it could associate the smell of the mouse with force feeding.

Is there any other reason you are force feeding?
What size prey are you feeding your snake?
How big is your snake?

Is there any other reason you are force feeding?
I didn't force feed it, the pet shop I bought it in did.
What size prey are you feeding your snake?
Rat pups
How big is your snake?
My snake is about 14'

Blink,
You nor the petstore should be force feeding your bp. There is no concrete evidence to do so.
I, nor anyone on these forums is a vet and I would highly recommend seeing a qualified reptile vet in your area ecspecially since he has this sore and the many complications that go along with force feeding. (which could very well be the source of said sore).
Good luck
