Hello again,

Well to cut a long story short I have been to the vet.

The things that he said
1) Firstly my thermometre was not reading correct. Got a new one. My little python wasnt hot enough....
2) Its had mites for way too long and other factors from his breeding and early life, before I purchased him, hes under sized and nurished. Hes been knocked around heaps trying to deal with the mites and so hes now trying to shed but having a hard time...
3) Waiting on blood tests now
4) Treated again for mites and hopfully he will shed ok......

Well I have learned a HUGE lesson today... I will ask alot more questions when purchasing my next python.....FROM A PROPER BREEDER

My poor little baby, I feel tereble for him.

One other thing that the vet and I disscussed was,
some people just shouldnt be allowed to breed pythons and sell them but also people like me who buy from them instead of people who really care and passion for a breeding programe shouldnt make it so easy for them to sell them to... I really did my homework on which python I thought was best for me, Spoke to alot of different peolpe who have been around pythons for most of there lives and then mad the one fatal mistake of impulse buying when I saw the MD. I bought it there and then instead of buying directly from a breeder

But the vet did say that with time and the propper care my little fella should be ok, which is the main thing....

Well I havnt exactly cut a long story short but hey if it saves one person from making the same mistake as me then its worth it hey.

Thanks again to every one for all your help...

will keep you all up to date...
