Hi! New to Ball Pythons!

Yes, that's why we're here- no such thing as a dumb question- we've all asked them in the past, lol.

Branches- re-baking it IF mites show up, might work if long enough, & you want a low temp. oven so it's not on fire- you can get it wet first too, that helps. But safer just to toss & replace- that's what most would do if mites are found. Hopefully you won't need to decide that.

I'm already very proud of you for noticing his tail tip- that's a good habit to get into, checking his tail tip & also "eye-caps" after every shed to make sure all the old skin was removed.

Ah I didn’t know about the eye caps. We will read up on that.

Thank you everyone. We have had him about a week and he took his first meal of f/t rat like a CHAMP.
