i wouldnt think some food in the stomach would kill the ball though.im not sure if he fed the ball or not cuz i told him that when i shipped him that he should give him a few days to settle in before feeding so he might not have.

What was meant was that if you fed 5 days before shipping what could’ve killed the ball was the partially digested feed in the stomach, combined with the low temps due to the delay in shipping USPS. In my opinion the death was not likely Mike’s fault, unless he was keeping the python under sub-optimal ambient temperatures.

, not that the boas mouthrot seems to be getting better.his mouth use to be a little swollen and the sore in his mouth was red looking but now it seems like the same color of his mouth and the swelling is going down.
Glad to hear that.
