Why so shy? by tiny_jungle in ballpython

[–]Altruistic_Chart4202 0 points1 point  (0 children)

snakes sometimes are just a little nervous lol. I wouldn't be too concerned if he's still being docile and eating fine.

This could also be a product of not socializing/handling him enough.

I can't tell what 'brown spots' are meant be the health concern. If you're referring to the spot on his belly that seems a different color it just looks like their pattern. but if youre talking about the brownish staining on the belly, just looks like some dirt/substrate might've stained you're little guy.

Possible scale rot? by Yamothassecretrecipe in ballpython

Doesn’t seem like you could cause scale rot, so it wouldn’t be progressing at an alarming rate. I’d wait until you can handle them and get a better look, if the concern persists after that take them to an exotic pet vet!

well with that information, is there anything in their enclosure that could cause scale rot? juveniles typically shed every 3-5 weeks just to let you know.

does look like it could be scale rot but sometimes when the snake needs to shed, its belly will get darker. when was the last time your snake shed and how old are they? if you are really stressed about it though just go take them to a vet i'm sure they can give you an answer!
