Great work. Hows the wound looking? Try some neosporin on it. I'd keep the temps up abit too. Try to keep handling to a minimum also!

Good luck, let me know if you have anything specific you need answered.

Thanks,

I have 7 ball pythons 3 rescuded. Not only is your snake sick it looks very dehydrated. When there is wrinkles in the skin theres your first no. Second for your own good because this will drive you up the wall. Take the babie to a qualified herp vet then make sure to notify someone who has power about the store you purchesed it from because i've seen some bad babies but not like that. They should be ashamed for having dead animals in there tanks for the public to see and tell the world.

The snake now is doing great.

I'm glad to hear it. get your hands on the ball python manual written by Phillipe de Vosjoli .I read it cover to cover and I can solve my own problems. You can to. enough of listening to people argue. Do you reaserch. Solve them by yourself the feeling is great when you can give advice as well as solving your own problems. Good luck kid. It's all patents. I have 7. 3 wild caught thats problems. That's another story. Congrads you own one of the pickest snakes in the world.

Tommorow I'm buying my bp a hopper.She is doing great.

Why on earth would you still buy from that Pet Store ??

~~~ And now your looking to buy a baby burm from a pet store, who again has dead snakes ??

In fact, wasn't the initial burmie you were going to buy dead ?

And now you have to wait for another one ??

Sorry, to be harsh................... but think about what you are doing !!!

And, what kind of pet store is this anyways ?

Somebody should have that place closed down !!!

I am not the one purchasing the burm, not my cousin Jeremy. Though we never stated which pet store we are purchasing from, yes, we are purchasing from the same pet store. Though my burm is ordered in through a private breeder, when I pick up my burm it will still be in the shipping box from the breeder and will not come in contact with the other animals.

The initial burm I was going to purchase yes was found dead, the snake apparently choked during his first feeding, mand hatchlings just do not live at some times. This snakes housing conditions were great though, the day of pick up; he was dead. Though I do not in any way excuse any form of animal cruelty, they have made improvements since I have commented on the conditions.

Trust me; if there was a better store in my area I would purchsae from them, though my current reptiles have to eat and this is the only available source for their food rather than an online source which would cost a much larger ammount, not to mention shipping.
