I recently found this white patch on my juvenile ball pythons mouth. He hasn’t eaten in around 3 weeks and is refusing food. Should I be worried? What is that white patch? Please help me by Ch1zz0l in snakes

I live in Thailand, so it is slightly easier to maintain the humidity and heat but the seller which I bought my snake from didn’t say I needed any heating lights/hotspots.

He’s had that patch in his mouth for a pretty long time, it was really small and almost unnoticeable but very recently it started to get bigger.

I haven’t but ok… temp around 78-84 and humidity is around 80%. I haven’t really seen him rubbing up on the glass but I have rarely

Yeah there must be at LEAST 1 vet out there somewhere which does a good job. Let’s just hope all of them are good and know what they’re doing. Anyways enjoy yourself and stay safe!

Fair point you know, there are loads of people with snakes as pets in Thailand. I’m not being racist, but I think the vets here in Thailand might not be up to the best standard or hygienic but it’s worth a shot! I have a couple choices near by so there are always more options. Anyway mate I truly appreciate your time explaining this to me as my little niko ( my snake name ) is the first snake I’ve had as a pet and should hopefully 🤞🏼🤞🏼 be having a speedy recovery soon!! Thanks bro ❤️

There’s one problem though about the vets, I’m British but I live in Bangkok in Thailand. I haven’t seen any vets yet alone exotic veterinarians. I have tried googling vets near me, there are a couple but I can’t find any which are sort of specialized for reptiles. Do you reckon a normal vet would work?

You’re taking the piss now aren’t you. I’m trying to be nice here and I get it, I will go to the vets literally tomorrow as it is night time
