    Brown Colour on Ball Python's mouth

    Hey guys, so I bought myself a new ball python and I noticed some brownish colouring on the bottom jaw along the mouth line on my Ball Python. Is this just part of the markings or is it something I should start worrying about?

    Sounds like it could be a scab.

    Damage to lips happens when eating. Watch it for the next few sheds, and if it goes away, that is what it was.

    It would be easiest to diagnose with a photo, but that is my guess.

    Worst case scenario it could be not saying it is but it could be mouth rot which is very treatable you should post some pics.

    This is the second time you have posted this photo and thread.

    I am going to merge it with your other posts, as I did the others.

    I think it's probably just a marking. I also got to say thats a great looking ball python you have there.
