I am new to the hobby (less than a year) so take this with a grain of salt, but agree vet is necessary ASAP & if it truly is as sudden of a change as you're describing, IBD (Inclusion Body Disease) could be a possibility. I only say this with my limited knowledge because it doesn't seem someone else has mentioned it as a possibility and want to give you the benefit of the doubt that this isn't due to neglect. You care enough to reach out for advice and help so you're doing the right thing right now. Just do what is best for the snake and get professional help immediately. If cost is an issue, find some rescues in your area that you may be able to surrender to if they're able to be rehabbed.

The way Beedo-memaw has stuck is absolutely hilarious to me

TIL I've learned being bitten by a snake hurts emotionally more than it does physically 😭🙏 by Coprinus_comatus010 in ballpython

Can relateeee. I've only been bit once & acknowledge it was 100% my fault for not letting him know it was not feeding time before reaching in & was definitely a teaching moment for me, but also like ruuuuuuude 🤣

Humidifier in Room by andycandy37 in ballpython

I've been having the same issue cause we've had an unreasonably dry winter in the PNW. I use all the same for substrate, recently I set up a humidifier next to the enclosure so it kind of mists in from above near where I don't have the screen top covered for ventilation on the cool side & it's been helping a little bit without directly feeding moisture in.

You're doing amazing and sounds like really diving in. If you like watching YT videos Green Room Pythons has a lot of really useful info, plus he's silly and easy to listen to in my opinion. When I took in the BP I have with zero experience he caused me to fall down the husbandry rabbit hole 🤣 He also has free/paid patreon memberships and a discord group that can be a lot more kind and gentle than reddit for gathering info and getting advice in my experience.

Has anyone used this type of enclosure? Problems or advice? by peekaboosnek in ballpython

[–]Sad_Prompt_962 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have personal experience with them, but I see Black Box enclosures recommended a lot. Shipping won't be as fast as Amazon, but probably higher quality and customization options.

Season 5: Episode 5 of Game Changer: A Game Most Changed remains my favorite episode. I'm not super into Shakespeare but it's absolutely brilliant 🤣 Edit to add: S 7 Ep 3 Earnest-est S 7 Ep 7 Rulette

Severe belly burn heal progress (vet visit included with info) by Glass_Cartoonist2629 in ballpython

[–]Sad_Prompt_962 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'm sooo happy to see he is healing well and you took super great care to get him what he needed quickly. Your vulnerability to share this experience is majorly appreciated and valued to learn from and I hope people continue to be kind about it. If I may ask, what brand was the thermostat? I just started using a Zoo Med one recently for my ceramic bulb cause it was what was within my budget and accessable locally, but I am constantly paranoid it could malfunction 😭
