I just purchased a ball python from my local pet store. I did have a few scabs on him, but bought him anyway. Is there something that i can but on them to help it or should i leave them to heal itself? If so could I use cortizone-10, its the only thing I have right now. Also what would be the best to get to prevent mites before he would get them. I am newbie to owning a snake so any help would be appreciated. I do know that I shouldnt handle him for a week or so until he gets comfortable with his new inviroments....Thanks.
