I got my ball python Maxwell a couple of weeks ago at Petco. I noticed today that he has some white scales on his back, and they are uplifted, also on the top of his tail there are a few that are uplifted and i was looking at them today and i touched them to see if they were reallyrough or anything and some clear liquid came out of on my finger :S they werent there yesterday so whatever it is it happened overnight. im really worried. this is my first snake and I am pretty sure i have his enclosure just right, i have his warm side temp at about 93, his cool side at about 80, and the humitidy goes between 40-50%. i am more than willing to take him to the vet to get taken care of if i need to but i thought i would ask here in case its nothing serious so i can save some money, but like i said, if you think it looks/sounds pretty bad im defenitly going to run him to the vet on Monday. also, if its not something that needs vet care then what should i do about it?? could i clean it somehow? also i have Eco Earth bedding in his tank.. should i change to newspaper until he gets better? here are some pics i got of his back and tail, they arent that great of pics because they little guy wouldent stop moving, but you can kind of see what im talking about.. thanks in advance.
