Many of you are assuming this is the only study of it's type out there. Wouldn't it be a hoot if you were wrong?
My iphone was bugging out and not loading the last page. Yes, i see where it said it now.

I find this to be pretty interesting. Ball pythons being found in "one of the wettest areas in the world". So if they can survive there, that tells me that scale rot and RI's are over dramatized by a lot of keepers. Possibly to just scare new owners or because they really don't know the hardiness of the snakes? Though I'm sure the immune systems of the ball pythons we keep aren't quite as strong as the wild ones, so maybe not.
