Re: White spots on my Ball Python
are these new? They look like old scars, one of my rescues has them, I think from burns.

Re: White spots on my Ball Python
I'm sorry, but I really don't see anything wrong with your BP. The one picture shows what look like some old scars, but other than that, nothing I can tell from the pictures.

Re: White spots on my Ball Python
The last pic almost looks like "fuzz" or cotton? If that's so, it might be fungus. How is your husbandry? Keeping the cage clean? What is the humidity like? Is the substrate dry? If its fungus, I've never dealt with it on a snake before, so a vet visit is probably called for. I do know that in a lot of cases, the fungus treatment for humans is the same whether its for athlete's foot, jock itch or even toenail fungus, but I don't know if that would be safe for a snake. If it looks like cotton growing on the snake take it to a vet.

Re: White spots on my Ball Python
Steve- that's what I was thinking too. Hard to tell from those pictures though. They do also look like old scars but if they're new spots, that's not really possible.

Re: White spots on my Ball Python
grammie, Yes, they are new.
piper, Thanks. She shed last month and this is when it started happening.
hoo-t, I can tell its not fuzzy by just touching it. It feels like skin. I think I take great of her. Yes it gets cleaned once a week. 80% to 90% tops. I live in California on the coast so it stay fairly humid here. I use paper towels. So yes the sub is dry unless she tips her water dish over.

Re: White spots on my Ball Python
Are the scales white, or is it white on top of the scales? In other words, are they regular, but white, scales?
If so, seems like there's some weird pigmentation going on...
