Bumpy Ball Python.... Please Help
I have a new ball python that has been given to me. I have looked over the forums and have everything at the right temp and humidity. Since bringing my bp home i have noticed a growing problem with bumps (almost clear colored) they started on one side and seem to be getting worse. When I touch the bumps, there seems to be like a clear pus-like substance that comes out of them. I am used to having wild snakes such as kings and blacks and have never seen this before. If it is too hard to identify by descriptions i could take pictures.

pictures would be the best way for us to diagnose, but it sounds possibly like scale rot. get some pictures up for us to better help you, but as always, its best if you just get the snake to a vet.

Yes, it's definitely time to see a good reptile vet. What it is doesn't matter much right now, all that mattes is that it's really not normal. A vet will be the best help for you and your snake.
