Hey,

My wild caught recent import female ball python has a skin disease. She was imported in the summer and I purchased her as a non feeder with ticks, which I've cleared up (she still hasn't eaten). Now, she has a belly problem. At first, the belly scales each swelled up with fluid. Now they have peeled but are bloody & tender. I've been treating it with SSD antibiotic cream and bi-weekly soakings. Any advice on what to do? I've increased temps & humidity, but now I'm thinking I need to dry her out.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

steve
