Hi,
So I bought a ball python that I knew had problems. I don't buy animals from petco or the like usually because in my opinion they don't take good care of their animals. However, I have to buy my mice there to feed my corn snake because the local reptile store is way too far from where I live to be reasonable to drive there for mice. Anyways, while at the petco I like too look at their reptiles. I saw this ball python in its viv and I could tell it was having problems. It was very dehydrated (eye dents, big wrinkles, ect.) and I couldn't help myself but buy it because I felt so bad for it. I have a big problem with doing this with animals, I hate seeing them mistreated. I don't know exactly what to do for the snake though. I got it water the eye dents are gone and the wrinkles are diminishing. However, I don't think it shed right when they had it, it has scales peeling off it's head and I believe the eye caps didn't come off either. What can I do to help? and is it really a bad shed on it's head or is it another problem?
