Help with sick Ball python- skin thing

OK i've had fluffy about four years. i recently made him a new tank out of pine wood, nice big tank. freash chips and he has his water bowl in there along with a hid box. he also resides with another yearling ball female. they usually get along really well and get real disturbed when there seperated. But now i'm having problems. Fluffy started turning pink like he was going to shed. upon examining his pink belly we noticed a few spots that concerned us. so we kept an eye on him and as his shed progressed it has gotten worse. he just cleared up from his milky stage a day or so ago and i've finally decided to isolate him. I have him in a seperate tank with papertowels and i wiped down his belly with a 50/50 H2O2 solution. these are the pictures i took tonight right after isolating him. his tank is relativly clean and it hasn't been moist at all due to a pine warping issue i'm having with the tank. My plan right now is to keep washing him down with the H2O2 two times a day and i'm going to start pain free neosporin tomorow morning. Could this be worse than i think. His tail at his vent is a bit swollen as well. thanks

time is short so I will give you a link to a related thread (which also links to another thread) that I responded in. If you have further questions, post away - I'll be back later tonite...in the meantime, I'm sure there will be other respondants. Sorry I couldn't fully address this right now.

btw - I would avoid further use of H2O2 - while it does have a drying effect, it also disrupts healthy tissue in the process and can prolong healing time.

well hes still alive this morning wich is a good thing. Still no shed but he doesn't seem very active the past two weeks. I have been finding him in some odd possitions. Like one time i spotted him with his tail in the air like a rattler. this morning i found him like this(see pic below....) i'm wondering if the new tank location and lack of sunlight could be to partially blame? I work graveyard shift so natural light doesn't make it in to the room much durring the day. I'm having troubles with heat since the heat lamps are all on the main enclosure so i've brought the temp in my room up to 85 to try and stabalize the temps in the quarenteen tank. on the humidity front i have no idea where to get moss around here, would a hangin clean moist washcloth work if i changed it out daily? I've always had a problem with keeping humidity levels up. i'm not home enough to keep misting. the humidity levels are either really low all the time or really high, i've never been able to hit 65 very well. if there was some automatic system i could buy to monitor the humidity i would be all over it.

There seemes to be a toss up. do i continue with the neosporin?

Did you read the thread Harald linked to? It looks like belly rot, and the last thing you would want to introduce into the tank is further moisture underneath him, if that indeed is what his problem is....though it seems strange if he has had fresh chips and a completely dry tank.

Is the floor of the pine enclosure you made for him well-sealed? Why would it be warping if it is kept dry?

What kind of wood chips are you using?

Repti bark, the chips are probably not a month old in there. The pine is warping because with humidity inside and dry "room" air outside the pine is swelling on the insides and forcing the walls to bow in...... Gona have to brace it with angle iron to stop that. Bad original design i guess. should have put the grain the otherway or somethign.

See how the side is bending in? the windows need to be able to slid up and down. So its "pinching" the window pane and making it real tight.

um picture....Go!

Pine oils are not good for snakes, I wonder how well sealed the pine wood is if it is warping like that from the humidity?

... pine is not good? After much discussion with a local herp peoples we came up with pine was not bad...... I'm shure there is tons of sawdust from the pine still floating around and the tank has not been laquered yet untill i found out which laquor was snake safe....
