Spur?

[CALM Pythons]

Thats a spur not a String.. If you have other BP's how do you not know what a Spur is? As far as the pic of when you said her neck turned red i don't see anything wrong unless your telling me she sat there with her mouth open for a long time. I take pics when my snakes open their mouth too, like yawning, Hissing etc... you mentioned she was in the "S" position when it happened. A mouth open with a Hiss in the S position is when their Pissed and ready to Strike.
As far as all the other stuff about a Vet being out of the way ... Thats no excuse. If your snake has a RI and you ponder about the distance and whats convenient you'll end up with a dead snake.
Good luck with her.. Seems like you need to do a lot of Basic research about Ball Pythons.

Actually all my other Ball Pythons don't have Spurss I've checked. Including the ONE other male. I was told by the seller/breeder that she's either has a secretion gland or a spur.
My question for that is, why do my other snakes not have spurs when Queen is the only one that does?

When I said I couldn't get to a vet, what I ment to say is, I have no vehicle, but what I can do is hire a friend, though limited resources until Feb 28th(they are only able to drive then..), I will be locating a proper and quality vet around my area, I'll set up an appointment.

I took the photo of her mouth open when she opened it at me, she does that often. I was unable to snatch a photo of her during her "red neck". So yes, that photo of her mouth open was when I had my camera out and was able to take a shot. I have not had her out since the red neck incident. (The breeder also informed me to keep her informed on Queen)

As for your other comments, I already had an idea of RI and I'm ready to figure out what type she has, my fear is that the breeder didn't tell me what was wrong or to my suspicions may of been unaware and the day they shipped informed me of the

1. Genetic wobble of Queen TSA
2. stuck eye cap of No Name

Now I was informed on how to help No name and my roommates on that.

Again as for the vet the next availability of my ride is the 28th. Stay close and ready


For the record, I am not against any of you, I ask for the same respect I give you.

The fact I say she's a proven breeder is because she is. Its important to understand for me atkeast that of she's mated, who was the male with RI? is the seller at risk?

Ive only had her for the last two weeks as stated previously. I do not plan to add more snakes/reptiles.
