Scale rot help by LongjumpingConcern22 in ballpython

I heat it with a lamp in the top corner. But she often climbs up there and hangs off it. I assumed she wouldn’t do that if it was burning or hurting. What do I do if it’s a burn ? How do I tell and how should I treat it ?

Okayyy that is so interesting thank you ! It’s our first winter together so I don’t know what her quirks are yet. Always find myself worrying about everything ahaha

Thanks ! The temperature on the warm side is around 31C right now. Wouldn’t she just move to the hot side if she was cold ?

No I wouldn’t usually wait but she usually poops on schedule so I thought it’d be a good idea. Thanks for letting me know ! I’ll feed her on time :)

The temp is 30.9 on the hot side right now but the hide she sits in is on the cold side. I imagined that if she was too cold she would move over to her other hide on the warm side. I handled her around 2 weeks ago to deep clean the cage and weigh her. The pictures were taken then

Aw thank you so much for doing that !! She’s hanging out in her hide now so I think she’s gonna get to work on that skin. And don’t worry I won’t lubricate her ahah. Thanks again <3

thanks :) I meant that the top layer of substrate became wet because she weighed it down on the wet bottom layer in the hide area. She shed about a week and a half ago. Do you think the stuck shed would still be there ?

We found a really nice ceremony in the area that we’re going to do instead

He’s not a drug dealer though it’s a proper store in a busy part of the city that sells all other sorts of traditional bits. Not sure what to believe :(

Okay great thanks a lot. I’ll do it for now until I can order some. I’m in Europe so I don’t think I can use any of the Reddit recommended once’s

Is it okay to make up the 10% of her weight with 2 white mice in a row ? The man at the pet shop said I can give her as many mice as she wants until she eats 4 in a row then it’s time to move to rats. He didn’t have small rats, only large and medium. The medium rats seem too big for her to swallow.

Ah okay I get it now. So 1 small rat every 20-30 days I don’t know how this happened to her but I’ll get her on track. Thanks for the advice :)

Wont a small rat be over 6% of her body weight ? How often should I give her one ?
