Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Possible Blister disease ball python
I also posted this on the BP forums didn't know about this forum so I am sorry for starting multiple threads that are the same ...
I went on an animal cruelty case to remove some animals many dogs. They had a normal ball python, his cage wasn't that moist just really dry but extremely filthy. I notice some lesions on him thinking it might be some kind of burns. He had a really bad shed going so I couldn't really look at him. He finely shed complete today and I noticed in a lot of places his scales are turning white and then turning to the lesions.
I am thinking it some kind of Blister disease but always that that usually started on the underbelly and his is fine. He is also under weight but that can easily be fixed. I have an appointment at my vet next week for one of my rescue dogs for heartworm treatment so going to take him in. ( He is also a herp and avian vet) Just need some advice of what I can do till then. I read that you should take any under belly heater off and just use over head heat to keep the temp. I am using unprinted newspaper atm. He are some pics sorry for the quality can't find my good camera.

Sorry I am late on this and hopefully you already got some help/advice from your Vet. I can't say for sure what the problem is but the filthy conditions might have something to do with it. I would recommend using a diluted betadine solution to clean the areas that appear affected and treating with Silvadene cream or Zymox cream. Both products have been quite good treating skin infections for me. Your Vet should be able to prescribe either one if needed.
Good luck,
Ivan
