Slight Wrinkled PINK BELLY on bottom portion of my Ball Python snake

[Marrissa]

So looks like Butter's belly is looking better!
With the right amount of temperature controlled with a brand new thermometer...
Butters is doing better! And I ordered the silver sulfadiazine cream and it's supposed to be arriving in UPS today.

HOWEVER... I have another NEW dilemma.
Butters have been rejecting mouses in the past weeks.
Strangely (I don't know if his personality of being very shy and scared all the time also matters to this reason), he attacks the medium mouse... he fails then looses interest and won't eat.

So this has been happening in the last 3 weeks. NOW it's been 5 weeks total since he hasn't eaten anything.

I know he's not normal right now because he's still healing... Perhaps the mouse is too big? So today I got him a small feeder... THEN HE STILL WON'T EAT IT! He goes very close to it to smell with "looking" like he'll attack his food.

And I don't think he's gonna shed either. I'm so confused any idea?

Just called a vet and said the check up is $55... what should I do?

That looks like a pretty bad burn. It's not surprising he isn't eating. If he's striking then letting go, it's probably because it hurts.

And 55 is not bad at all. Take him in. He's your animal and this wasn't caused by his doing. It's better to take him to the vet and be safe rather than sorry ya know?
