i have had my ball python for nearly 4 years now. i was doing so well up until now. i switched to coconut substrate as her bedding and it was the biggest mistake ever.

i went out of town for a week and came back, her stomach was a slightly brown but i thought maybe it was just stained or something. i couldnt be more wrong.

i have been checking on her every other day and it seemed to be getting better, at least i thought so. i had soaked her in warm water and cleaned her cage regularly.

i eventually had a long with shifts and she would be out drinking water like normal so i thought nothing wrong. i picked her up today and nearly started crying.

some scales were missing and i just started crying. im taking her to the vet today im terrified
