Need a little help?

I just bought a Ball Python. He is about 2 1/2 years old. I checked him over when I was at the previous owners house. I guess I didn't do a good job. When I got him home and sat down with him and really took my time looking at him I noticed a couple things. He has a big sore that is redish with a little yellow tint to it. I have never seen this before. I have checked him for mites and ticks and has none. What would this sore be from. It is located under his belly about the middle of him. He also has a couple bumbs that are on his sides that are kinda like a pimple under his skin trying to make there way out. Hard, and dry bump with a little dis-color to them. What would this be? If anyone could help me with these questions please do so. Right now I am trying to find a vet to bring him to in my area but not having luck. Thank you for your time, Bonnie

Hi Bonnie and welcome to the forum

posting a photo would allow us to help determine what is really wrong.

Okay I took some pictures now just don't know how to get them into here. I use adobe photoshop and when i try to put a picture in here it wants a URL. Help again?

Hi,

Well the first thing is to get them hosted somewhere online.

you can put them in your gallery here - this tutorial is a bit old but the basic procedure is the same I think.

And here is another one in video form that might also help.

You can also use a site like http://photobucket.com/

They should also have tutorials to help you.

If you still have trouble just ask any member of staff and we will do our best to get you sorted.

I hope this worked! This is a picture of the sore on my ball pythons belly. I finally found a vet that is going to look at him tomorrow. I hope he will get better. If anyone has ideas of what this could be please let me know. Thank you again. Bonnie
