Hello Ball Python Owners! I just brought Severus (a ball python) from my friend. I've know him for a year and he needed a new home so I took him. She said he was having trouble shedding, but once I got him I found the his belly was super red, dry and tough. He seems to be in pain. In one area he has a rip in the dry skin and the skin underneath in bloody. He's not bleeding but the skin under the dry skin is very new and have blood on it. I'm worried. Should I bring him to the vet? If not, what do I do? I've heard that this happens to ball pythons that are rough when they shed. Is that true?
