Shedding problems?

rifleman5000 Mar 15, 2007 08:29 PM

My ball python has spent the last 4-5 in her water dish and her eyes have looked like she needs to shed. I came home today and she was in her dish again and she looks saturated with water and her eyes are bubbled up and look like they are full of water.
Any suggestions on what to do or what this could be?
thanks alot

OK, whats the humididty in the enclosure???? if it's low, then this is why ur ball python is soaking himself. Ball pythons rarly soak themselves...the humididty may be low, or even worse, ur snake might have mites =( so if he does have mites, take him to the vet, and if the humididty's low, raze it to about 75-87. hope this helps! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree she is soaking for a reason I dont know what type of enclosure you have your snake in beacuse you didnt mention it,all this information needs to be detailed in your post before anyone can give you any kind of advice.
