Hi, My OH has a roughly 1 year old Ball Python. He has within the last 48 hours developed 3 lumps around his head/face & over 1 eye what can only be described a raised scales/bubbles, or even blisters. They are definately not mites. What advice would you give ?????? :cry:

Hi Can BD's be given cat food ? Minnie

Hi Holly Thanks for the good advice. He has also started to open his mouth and flare up as if ready to bite as soon as I go to open the viv, the little looney tune lol Here's his set up. 3ftx2ftx2ft viv 100w basking lamp 6% Arcadia D3 UVB 82-84f cool end 92f hot end with basking spot roughly...

Hi, Larry is roughly 5-6 months old now. Has never really liked being handled since I got him at 6-7 weeks old. Now he seems to be even more stroppy. Is he going through a teenager thing ? He does the whole back off stuff like puffing out his beard, hissing & opening his mouth. He has bite me a...

Hi, I have a 5 month old BD Larry. I am comfortable with housing & lighting now. I have been told that they do fight! I was gonna use T-Rex for vitamins and Nutrabol for calcium? The son is giving me their viv & I have a good breeder who sells 2nd hand vivs so no trouble there. I would have...

I think they are the same age, not 100% sure thou. They are currently still with my friend. I am hoping to get them in the next 2 weeks. Am I right that they need to be seperated, even thou have never been apart since babies? What would you suggest with suppliments? Can my help even after a...

Hi, My friend at work's son has 2 BD'd roughly a year old that he is trying to re-home. The son has not looked after them very well & he wants them to go to a better home. He tells me that they both live in the same viv, have never had any UVB & the son has on occasion (not sure how many...

Hi, He has eaten bout 10 small crickets today. He must have been hungry cos 4 went within the 1st 20 seconds. He seems to be better & has stopped shedding. I get worried bcos he has never eaten as much as I am being told he should (50-100 crickets per day). He is still so nervous of me, even...

I'm gonna bath him as normal today, give him small amount of veggie & if has stopped shedding will try some live food Sunday. Minnie

Thx janie. I am so worried it is me doing something wrong. I have just checked my temps again & am wondering if this has anything to do with it ?? He basks bout 6 inches from the UVB & the basking spot is bout 100-110f. The cool side is bout 82f & the ambient temp ranges from 80-84f. Do these...

Hi there. I have offered him veggies every other day dusted with vitamins/calcium, but he does not eat it. I only handle him at bath time & do check him over b4 hand to make sure he is not impacted. I can't feel any lumps. He did start to shed a fews days after bringing him home & still seems to...

Morning all. I've had Larry for the last 4 weeks. He's roughly 8 inches long from nose to tail & about 3-4 months old. He has never really eaten huge amounts since I got him. He was being feed huge locusts by the breeder which I have down-sized since finding this site. He would only eat about...
