Thin rescue ball python tips needes

Ok! We're back from the vet and it's a girl! The vet feels she's mostly just severely dehydrated and underfed. He felt the mouse she ate yesterday was digesting properly, she is mite free, and we are to bring in a fecal sample to double check for parasites.

She weighs exactly 500 grams. The vet wasn't too concerned about the head wound. I'm to monitor the bump on her head, but he feels it's simply the way the wound healed and not a tumor or abscess. Should it change in any way we will do further testing.

He pretty much gave all the same information everyone here has given. Warm soaks to help with hydration and the stuck shed, keep the prey smaller for now so we will stick with the mice, then once her weight is up to feed larger items. He suggested every 6 days for feeding right now, but I might do 5. She's still so eager for food!

congrats! it's a girl!!!!!!!!!

wow...500g, and she looks like a poor hatchling. sweet lil' bby.

i can't wait for her to start eating regularly! i'm excited to watch you both progress and grow!!! good luck! all the positive vibes i have are being sent to you both!
