    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Help! I need advice.

I have a het pied ball python. She is female. Less than a year old. I have recently noticed spots on her body where it almost looks like she has liquid under her skin. She is active and does eat but these bubbles of liquid freak me out. What is it? and What do I do?
 
Could be blister disease, you'd need to take her to a reptile knowledgable vet. Could be belly rot, blister disease, a burn, some odd infection.. it's nearly impossible to tell without the snake in hand and the knowledge needed about reptiles and their assorted disorders. Also, what the set-up is that you keep her in.

My advice would be to call a herp vet immediately.
 
I keep her in a 29 gallon with good heat and humidity. The other snake in the enclosure is just fine. I will get her to the vet. Never scene anything like it.

There shouldn't be another snake in the enclosure.

Now, both of them need to see a vet.

As mentioned, these could be water blisters, parasites, or other issues.
