Python breed and eye care help plz!
I recently got a ball python i bought from a dude at a steak hpuse i saw odin in a un clean tank the room was freezing and the guy neglected it im no snake expert but i felt obligated to help this snake out askef to speak with the owner and left with a full belly and my snake.
Can anyone tell me what kind of ball pyrhon this is and ate his eyes supposed to b silver!? Thought they were eye caps at first he didnt shed in one peice either but i gave him a warm bath and hes all clean so my question is are these silver eyes eye caps? And one eye looks dented poor snake and that owner!
Re: Python breed and eye care help plz!
Dented eyes and poor shed means that the humidity needs to be higher.
Upload the pictures onto a hosting site such as photobucket.com then copy the IMG code here.
Welcome and good job saving this guy from a poor situation.

Hi there and congrats for saving this big baby. It looks like a regular ball python to me with maybe some stuck shed on his head. I believe the eye dent could be from lack of humidity or maybe even a birthing issue. I would up his humidity and give him plenty of water to drink.
Congrats again and thank you for taking him from a bad situation.
Nichole.
Re: Python breed and eye care help plz!
So do you think his eyes are normal or still havnt shed off the caps?

Agreed! Glad he's a good eater. That's alot of the battle right there with balls! It sounds like you actually have already done your homework. I appaud you for that! I'm new to this forum but I've been around the forums ever since there have been forums and in the hobby for long before that (yeah, I'm old!) Many people come to forums and ask questions with doing any looking first. It's refreshing to see some one actually do that! Good job on rescueing this guy and keep us posted on how he's doing!

Don't worry about getting bitten. A paper cut hurts worse in my opinion.
The more you handle him, the more he'll learn your scent. Snakes are quite good at distinguishing prey from other things.
Again. Welcome to the world of ball pythons!
