    Re: Brown spots on ball python's tail?

    Alright, its good to hear the brown spots arent a problem. I tend to worry too much over things like that, such as worrying I have cancer when I feel a tiny lump ^^'

    Anyways, this is the enclosure. I thoroughly cleaned the hide and water dish, but they were filthy when I got the cage. There was a piece of shed skin and what looked like blood or something on the water dish, and poop and grime on and in the hide. I know its worrying that she is fed live rats, when I asked what I needed to take care of her he just handed me a rat in a cage and told me to feed it to the snake once I got it home. He breeds them to feed to the snakes. I looked up how to properly feed it though, and made sure the rat was not biting the snake or anything. When I get my own snakes I will feed them frozen thawed.

    I did confront him about the lack of heating a few months ago, but he said it was warm enough in the school for them (maybe for them not to die, but it is definitely not warm enough!!) and its hard to convince a teacher they're wrong, especially in the middle of class. He also keeps corn snakes, a king snake, and a bull snake in very similar cages. He says he got the cages 30 years ago and the company is now out of business, so he doesn't want them to melt.
