that is amazing that people can diagnose a medical problem, and prescribe medical treatment, all based on the description of a "sore" without so much as a detailed description or picture.

your best bet it to see a vet for a first hand diagnosis. in the meantime, get your husbandry and setup where it needs to be.

get a good Ball python book that covers husbandry details. at the very least, McCurley's $11 Ball book, even better his Complete Ball Python book, or VPI's Ball Python book.

if you would like your Ball to get the best possible chance, get it a first hand look from professional hands. best of luck.
