Today I noticed on my ball python a large reddish are with some tried up scales. Classic dermatitis I guess. Apparently
she's been hiding under her water dish frequently, which I discovered keeps a damp warm area. My problem is, I don't have money.
I can't afford a vet, if they cost as much as I think they do. I covered the whole area with an antibiotic cream, but I doubt that will be enough.
I'm writing this late at night, but tomorrow I plan to completely clean out the cage and just have newspaper down.


I'm so worried and scared. I've had her for 5 years, but I don't think I can afford a vet right now. What can I do?
How much would a vet cost, just to go in and get Baytril?

How fatal is this problem? If she's going to die, I can accept and handle that better than watching her suffer? What's going to happen?

Any one who can help, please help me.


I need to know fast.

If my tears were dollars right now, I could afford the best vets in the world.
