Ok. A guy I work with wanted me to take his 2 ball pythons and all their stuff so he doesn't get in more trouble with his landlord. They're both underweight. He feed them a mouse every other week or so. The cage was dirty and full of broken peices of sheds. The male seems alright other then a slight burn on his belly. The female has some scars on her tail. Also we found just one tick on her.. We pulled it off and treated it with neosporin(w/o painkiller). My questions are.. Any ideas on how she had just one tick and we didn't see anymore? And also.. He told me they were 4-5 years old. I don't think they're even a year. Can anyone give me a rough estimate on age? Thanks.
