hi, i,ve had my ball python for nearly three years now and recently noticed some dry rot on her tail, after taking her to the vets he gave me some antibiotics to administer orally and a cream. Now i have been nervous gripping her head in my 3 fingers but the first couple of days she opened her mouth and i was able to give her her medicine but today she just would'nt open her mouth and my nerves got the better of me, i did'nt want to force it open, has any one got some advice on getting her to open up without causing her to much stress? she is a good natured snake and has not tried to strike at all, i just want her to get better!



many thanks



Kenny.
