Wow! Thanks for all the quick replies! I'l definitely call the vet and schedule an appointment. Richard Funk is about an hour away, and we need to go out there anyway to get rats, so I wan to go to him. I've heard great things about him.

Just an update. I've got an appointment with the vet [Dr. Funk] tomorrow, so hopefully I can get some meds for Sassy.

Sounds great, hope all goes very well with the vet and you get this snake back on the road to full health. Please let us know how things went.

Thank you so much!

I haven't gone to the vet yet, but I just heard an insane story. I guess the people we got her from went on vacation to austrailia. The husband was driving his motorcycle and he got in a wreck and it killed him!! I cannot even believe it!!

Just an update. We just got back from the vet and everything went great. She doesn't have an RI, but she does have some skin infection. Her tail always kind of bubbles up when she sheds, and I thought that was normal for ball pythons, but obviously it wasn't. Dr. Funk drained 3 syringes full of liquid from them. We have to give her shots every 3 days to fix it. Also, her eyes are kind of wrinkly looking, so he told me to put aloe vera gel on them twice a day while shes shedding and that will probably help. Nothing too serious though. Oh, and I guess I should start calling her a HIM. She's a boy! So we changed her name from Sassy to Zeke.

Look out, ZekesMom is going to sue you!

Good to hear that he doesn't have an RI. That's too bad about the skin infection, but that's probably a little easier to treat than an RI.

Good luck!
