I've self diagnosed my baby pastel ball python with IBD. He had mites since the date I got him, so I immediately started treatment. Well it affected his shedding so he didn't shed at all. I eventually did get off most of the shed, but I couldn't get the dry shed off his head. So today, I noticed drooling, like saliva. He couldn't flick his tongue, his previous meal is still in the back half of his body without any feces. I tried flipping him on his back, once he couldn't flip over, other times he could. But I just think the signs are to obvious. He was my first morph and I am pretty upset.



He still seemed to have several mites when I tried checking out his head. I believe it's beyond my control now.



So my main concern now is my other 3 pythons. I was careful to quarantine, so he's never been in contact with my other snakes. My 3 snakes are in the hallway, and the infected one is in my room. I typically do have the door closed, but sometimes it's open. His cage is about 30 feet from the nearest cage. Should I be concerned my others could contract it? Will they be okay? I'm very worried for my remaining collection right now, so if anyone has some answers, please help me.
