I am going to inheirit a juvenile ball python from a pet store. He is unhealthy and is not being well taken care of. There was absolutely no humidity at all in the cage he was kept in and in turn he is having a great deal of difficulty shedding. He also will not eat on his own. I watched the manager of the store force feed him two frozen/thawed mice which I thought was horiffic. The snake kept trying to regurgitate it as she was using tongs and shoving the mouse further down his throat. I knew this could not be the right way of doing this. She informed me that they had taken the snake to the vet and it had been diagnosed with stomach/body inclusion. I looked information up on this and it just didnt sounds like what is wrong with this guy. He is not flaccid at all, no star gazing, nothing really out of the ordinary, mouth is clear. Any one have any input on what could be wrong? The snake has been with them since November and this started I think the end of November so it has been a while.

I have since bought bedding (cypress bedding) and some hides to get some humidity in his cage. He is being soaked once a day and misted atleast twice a day.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
