Paranoid parent in need of help!
I adopted a ball python with a cataract on his eye about three weeks ago, he's about a few months old. I have him housed in a twenty gallon on EcoEarth, with a heat lamp and UTH to keep the temperatures up, two hides, and a shallow but wide water dish for him to soak in (humidity hovers between fifty to sixty five). I fed him after the second week, and he took the food immediately. I attempted another feed five days after, because he seemed a bit malnourished when I got him, but he didn't take to it, something I know is fairly common. He began showing signs of a shed, and sure enough, the next day I looked in, and there were bits of shed hanging from everything. I bumped the humidity up to around seventy five to help the shed along, but no luck. I bathed him today to help with his stubborn skin, but when I pulled him out I noticed him snuffling a bit, I pried open his mouth to have a look, but there was no discolouration or excess mucous. Is it an RI? Should I take him to the herp vet in my area, or wait and try a few home remedies first? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Sorry for the long post, I ramble when I'm worried!
