Ball Python Disease

cvonrosen Jul 01, 2006 11:43 PM

I recently aquired a lot of ten baby ball pythons. I have been really disapointed in the deal and feel I have been cheated. First of all instead of 5.5 I recieved 7.3. Then I am really dissapionted and scared about a disease that I believe many of them have. I euthanized 4 of them earlier because I discovered parasites on the sides of them. The disease I am curious about is where they have green stools. Its hard to explain but there is a wierd odor when you open the bin on the snakes with this green stool. I am just scared that It might spread to some of my more expensive and breeder animals. I am really pissed because they all appeared healthy and my stupid self didnt quarantine them. By the way none of them have eaten since I recieved them about three weeks ago.

Thankyou so much,

Christian von Rosen

you killed the snakes because they had parasites, instead of getting them treated? you need to take them to the vet for treatment.

The reason for killing them is that my mother is having a baby this next week and I just couldnt take any chance with them and somehow spreading to the baby. I know I may have made a mistake I was just scared that somehow the baby could get it. The snakes were said to be cb and I had them in a quarentine rack in the same room as my other snakes but just didnt take the proper precautions.
