Ball Python rescue and vet screwd me over

[raisinjelly]

Norbert if you'd like I can host the pictures for you, just let me know and I'll PM you my e-mail address

KMG nope the owners lied they said the python was in perfect health... but when he got to me...

That is to bad. Some people suck.

I got my gtp in a similar situation. He is in perfect health now. I tried to recover some of my vets bills from the guy I bought him from but he wouldn't even talk to me and instead let his wife deal with me and she just played dumb.

As for the pics: create a free Photobucket account. Upload the photos. Copy and then Paste the IMG code into your post here. Then when you post it the IMG code magically displays the photo.

thankyou to both KMG and Raisinjelly for helping me out with the pics i have managed to post them now i think here they are ! opinions idias ?

Between the blurriness and poor lighting and my tablet screen I'm not positive but it looks like the area is dead or dying. Like Dr Del said, necrosis.

Did the vet say anything about that possibility?

no she faild to mention it the tip was like this or almost like this when i braught it to her tho... it may ahve had a bit more lifei n it she said NOTHING about even the posibilty of it, do u recon it may need surgical removing ?

[KMG]

I'm not 100% sure on that. I believe the dead part will end up falling off. I'm sure somebody else will know better. Just make sure to keep it clean and make sure the tank stays clean. Newspaper or paper towels would be the best choice for a substrate for the time being.

[norbert]

already on papertowls here are more photos i clean the tank ( spot clean ) evry day 2 times or more

[KMG]

Those are much better.

The area is much smaller than I thought it was in the first pics but the tip looks very dead to me. I do not believe you have much to fear. Another user in a foreign country had a much worse but similar situation occur and the snake was fine. If I remember correctly it even bred that same time period. You will just have a short tail ball python.
