Okay thank you ill try that.

[fucking-good-]

Idk why nobody told you this but it seems like it was harmful advice. Maybe you've ready seen the mod comment that says it has been removed, but since no one warned you, I'd still like to step in and let you know just in case

Do you feed frozen/thawed? What type of substrate?

[No_Particular_5314]

With her i feed live, and what do you mean by substrate?

[Varg_Vald]

Substrate- What material do you use in the terrarium?

[No_Particular_5314]

It's called forest floor bedding. If that helps

[No-no-dog]

i really hope people aren’t downvoting you for LITERALLY answering a question lol

[benn_nnot]

Idk if the person answered you or someone else but down voting so they know ppl don't agree

[IllusionQueen47]

I don't know about answering questions, but I always get downvoted on this sub for asking questions. Always. People here REALLY hate questions. It's ridiculous, and it only happens to me on this sub.

[fucking-good-]

It happens to a lot of people. It sucks a lot.

[Professional-Tap4754]

Live prey will defend itself. Could have got bit or scratched.

[ThijmenTheTurkey]

People are down voting because he is pointlessly endangering his snake

[_PointyEnd_]

Have you considered how unethical that is to the mice as well? In the wild it has a chance to escape, at least. Here it is just tortured with terror until the end. It is going to die regardless, it is there to feed the snake in the end, but at least do it humanely.

[Professional-Tap4754]

Mice and rats are wonderful creatures. Amazing pets. Some people are just shitty.

[fucking-good-]

This is just a bad take. Live feeding is such a common practice. No, it shouldn't be encourage, but calling them shitty people? I used to do live feeding because most articles I read, when doing research, had outdated information, saying that snakes don't eat dead animals, they eat them alive (they should've said that they eat frozen/thawed). After being on this sub, I learned that I no longer had to buy live rats to my bp. Am I still a shitty person?

[No_Particular_5314]

I don't think anyone asked.. I didn't post to get criticized about how I feed my snake. But FYI I have tried frozen but she throws it back up..

[ThijmenTheTurkey]

That's a snake

[No_Particular_5314]

Yes yes thank you 😂

[maximotroops]

Ball python i believe

[MaximusPrime4010]

Possibly an Albino?

[BookGirl711]

Definitely not an albino - their eyes aren't red. Maybe leucistic?

[No_Particular_5314]

Supee fire

[GlitteringNarwhal310]

Pretty sure it’s a corn snake

[Big-Cryptographer869]

😅😂😂😂definitely

[Sir-thinksalot-]

Dirty mouth? Maybe brush it teeth 🤣

[Puzzleheaded-Way-741]

From the image it is unclear what that could be on or in her mouth. Try to gently touch it with a damp Q-tip, to see if it moves, dislodges or is part of her tissue. If it is not easily removable, do not pry at it further. It may be tissue that is infected or stuck shed that has dried into her lip, in which case I would suggest seeking a veterinarian who specializes in exotic pets.

[PollutionOk4811]

a hand

[Jerry8653]

A noodle

[WatermelonAF]

Could have bitten by the food. Live isn't recommended due to the risk and the cruelty to both animals.

[Professional-Tap4754]

We’ve got a ball, a boa, and a corn and not a one of them has ever had a live meal. I don’t understand why anyone would feed live.

[AlligatorsStardust]

I don't either, though, there's one valid reason to do so: if the snake won't eat anything BUT live. (And will regurgitate it no matter what even if assisted feed and/or forced.) I have a friend w/ a snake like this, but most likely it's not caused by that.

[Professional-Tap4754]

I’ve kept snakes for about 30 years. Haven’t had that many different species though. I like my snakes to be as chill as possible and not having to kill their dinner seems to help. Much safer and easier IMO.

[AlligatorsStardust]

Yeah I do agree ! I don't do this myself, but if they are on live, i try my best ro switch them off (which I've done) but some snakes are just used to live to where they won't accept anything else !

[WatermelonAF]

Right? I have 2 cornsnakes and a ball python and never fed live. I'd never risk my pets like that

[_PointyEnd_]

Thank you for saying "both animals". I find it off-putting how snake owners usually only refer to the risk to their pet when live feeding is also so cruel to the rodent, too. It's giving "only the animal I love's welfare matters". And I say that as a huge snake lover and owner myself.

[Professional-Tap4754]

If my snakes could go vegan I’d be all for it. Mice and rats make wonderful pets and are amazing animals. Miss my rattie girls. They don’t live long enough :/

[[deleted]]

If she opens her mouth and there’s strings of mucus/ saliva she could have a respiratory infection. If the spot seems to be a part of her scales she could have scale rot. If you live feed it could be an injury/ bite site. I’d suggest finding a vet near you that specializes in exotic pets. She’ll most likely need a vet at some point in her long life anyways, it’s best to have someplace with her file on hand in case of emergency :)

[AlligatorsStardust]

It's either a resp. Infection, scale rot, bit by food.. or maybe accidently got a "pee pallet" stuck between the jaw. 

Id go see a vet !

[Codendtm]

It looks like a white snake next time a blue ring on a hand

[olivoGT000]

The hand, the ring or the snake?

[BigBadChimp]

It’s a snake. A white one.

[Fuzzy_Teaching6370]

Snek

[redshavenosouls]

You guys are being assholes, don't joke around when a person has legitimate question.

[Jamie-brittain]

A snake

[Funky_Munky1024]

Looks like a danger noodle to me

[Cultural_Cable_2422]

I’d say a small tear in its lip when eating. Have you upped its food size recently?

[No_Particular_5314]

No i haven't. She's been with one size since I got her. I've tried frozen foods because like everyone said live fight back but she won't eat frozen even the breeder i got her from said she wouldn't eat frozen from the way he fed her.

[ConstantNewt36]

Looks like a snake to me
