Welcome to the forum, and sorry about the losses of your other two snakes. I'm wondering if your first ball python passes away from a respiratory infection, since your current one is being treated for one.


Could you describe your set up so we can help you keep Smeagel healthy? Sounds like your temps may be a little too cool. What are you using for heat, and how do you measure your temps.

And we need to get your enclosure escape proof and keep kitty in another room when handling!

You came to the right place!
