I got this girl a few weeks ago and she came with mites and severe stuck eye caps. After a few weeks of attempting home care I decided to take her to the vet. She is currently in a quarantine tank on paper towels with two hides, and a water bowl. I gave her a paper towel card board tube for a little bit of enrichment today that I will take out tomorrow. She was prescribed Ivermectin treatment and some eye lube and is projected to be better in about 4 weeks. She has several mites that are fairly embedded in her scales and a rash so I assume she is quite uncomfortable, along with the eye caps. I feel so bad for her 😭💔

After doing the Ivermectin treatment today she has been non stop glass surfing. Everything in the enclosure is properly set up, temps are good and humidity. Is it safe to assume she is just extremely uncomfortable? Is there anything I can do to make this easier for her?

I think today was probably also very stressful we had a 3 hour car trip for just getting to the vet and then did the treatment when we got home. 😅

I know he’s just a basic pied but I’m so obsessed with pieds. I have a banana pastel and came across this guy the other day and I just couldn’t leave without him. Some of his spots are even orange 🥹 I’m so obsessed. He’s not been officially sexed yet but they “thought” it is a male. Hoping to find out this weekend. He doesn’t have a name yet but I’m so OBSESSED. Let me see all the pied babies!!!

My first ball python came to me puppy dog tame. He’s almost 4 years old so any tips on taming a baby would be great too. He seems to get pretty stressed with any type of interaction. I’ve only handled him to check out some stuck shed on his eye (he came that way) and water changes. He’s so small compared to my other BP. 🥺🥺
