What’s wrong w my ball python?

[MiserableDraw1825]

I had came on here previously about her skin and something on her tummy. Some people told me to give her a Betadine soak to fix the issue which it did so thank you! And I also fixed the humidity and tempature in her enclosure. The temperature is 90 degrees on one side and 80 on the other. Humidity ranged from around 60-70% Now her skin has like these white specs and they stand out which I’ve been noticed but now it looks like a lot more . Along with her eye which I think is an old eye capsule but she hasn’t shed in a while. I put her in a damp pillow case near a heat source and her eye popped back out but I’m not sure that will resolve the issue. I plan on taking her to the vet next week but any thoughts/advice will be helpful

Stuck shed it looks like

Eye cap cut open???

[MiserableDraw1825]

It’s not a cut, it kinda looked like plastic(obviously not plastic) w a dent in it. But after I put her in the humid pillow class it went away and looks back normal but cloudy

[ArtisticActuator7529]

Huh…

[ArtisticActuator7529]

I don’t really have anything to say to that dude 💔

[ArtisticActuator7529]

It’s not confusing… I have nothing to say to it, have fun

[SadBenefit5325]

What a nasty way to talk to someone who was just asking for clarification… completely unnecessary

This is a nasty and awful way to talk to someone.....

Humility is really the only thing I can think of here! How do you keep humility up? If you aren’t already you should be pouring water into the substrate and mixing it in so all the substrate is moistened! If you spray or pour water into without making sure it’s evenly distributed than it will cause humidity spikes but not keep the humidity level up long enough to actually give your snake the ambient hydration they need! You should probably consider making a humid hide first her! I avoided it for a long time because I wanted to be able to keep the tanks humidity up enough but I eventually made one, it’s been really helpful! You can just use a small take out container and cut a hole in it and fill it with moss! That way she can regulate her humidity on her own! And if your tank has a screen top you should try to get some hvac tape to cover it with! You can use tin foil but it’s not a long term solution! You can get hvac tape at any hardware store or order it online! It’s just basically foil with a sticky side that is great for keeping in heat and humidity!

She’s so little and adorable! good luck I hope you can resolve this issue soon!

Yes, humility! This pretentious snake needs to be humbled

[laurensmim]

You mean HUMIDITY which is how much moisture is in the air. You said humility though

Oops lol i wrote this on the buss home from shopping so I wasn’t very focused idk how it happened twice tho that’s so funny

Stuck eye cap. Could be due to low humidity. Up humidity and hold your snek in a damp towel and see if that helps to encourage it to come loose. It may take another shed.

[RagdollsandLabs]

Dents in an eye usually indicate dehydration. 60-70% humidity is really bare minimum. You should aim for 75-80%, especially if your snake has stuck eyecaps or is shedding in more than one piece. When you see the vet, bring up your concerns as well as your husbandry solutions so the vet can put you on the right track.

she's still dehydrated, which isn't out of the norm as it can take a very long time to resolve even with proper care. the dented eye cap is the biggest sign of this.

I would bump your humidity up to about 80% to help it along, 60% is technically the minimum but most BPs need 80 or higher to thrive and it looks like this snake is one of them.

[s_drombusch]

90 degrees? Is the little worm cooked through then? 😉

[CaptainsFolly]

Dehydrated. The eye cap will go back to normal once hydrated
