ok this is what I have and whats going on ....
just got the ball python 5 days ago (Sunday afternoon)
she is 2-3 months old got her at a reptile show so she had a big day when i got her.... she is very dry and doesn't seem interested in soaking she has rough spots almost like she is cracking but when I got her they had her in a small round container with aspen shavings and I didn't notice there was a larger chunk that I would have taken out if I would have known myself I think it might have been irretating her under her chin she had a mark by the time I took her out to put in her new tank (if that has anything to do with anything)

she is in a 15 gal long tank with heat pad on one side with a lamp on top that is set up that day its on night its off .... tank temp is 80-85 on one side 75 on other side she has a snake tree stump on cooler side with exo terra jungle vine that goes on both sides a larger dish with inch of water that is half on one side half on other side so its about 80 temp I have seen her snag a drink as she went over it first day .... aspen shavings (yes I have a feeding tank besides) I also added Premium repti bark when I noticed her belly for extra shed help not sure what the humidity is but I have been misting the tank 2-3 times a day since I noticed her being very dry ... she has a house on both sides of the tank . I did try to feed her day before yesterday but she wanted nothing to do with food which was hopper mice slightly warmer then room temp (she thought it made a lovely pillow) which was gross because then she wanted out and curled up on my hand ....


how she looks..... she has slightly pink belly her eyes were clear when I got her but after could days of pink belly her one eye was bluish lastnight but other one looks to be turning now ..... I was told to put her in container lastnight with damp paper towels which I did for 20 minutes she seemed to like that she did a lot of moving around and she didn't try to strike at me but I made sure to move on her good side (like I would want done myself)


anything I should be changing up to this part? PLEASE let me know I would rather be corrected so I can fix what I don't know I feel like the worst snake owner in the world
