She is still very underweight as it took well over a month for the mouth rot to clear up so she has only eaten once for me so far.
And if anybody wanted to know, I was told she is a Mojave Firefly Het Clown.
I don’t work with BPs so can’t help with the morph. But my, she has simply got to be sooooo much more comfortable now! Not only her mouth, which is a huge deal. I’m sure she feels better all over worth the infection and inflammation knocked down. What wonderful care you’ve been giving.
Basically she was born quarter 4 of 2023 and purchased from an expo around June 2024. She was not cared for well and given to me in the conditions in the first few pictures in January 2025. She was underweight, dehydrated, had tons of stuck shed, and had mouth rot. After a few vet visits, a month of antibiotics, and two months in a proper enclosure, she is in the condition you see in the second set of pictures.
I personally have had experience with rescues before this, just none this bad. Most of my rescues I rehome as they are usually leopard geckos or crested geckos. I used to have leopard geckos but don’t really have much desire for them now, and I still have two crested geckos so I don’t want or need anymore. I will be keeping Fig, I personally love ball pythons and have always wanted to breed them. I have two others as well.
Here are my other ball pythons if you wanted to know (I don’t have pictures at the moment):
Fireball (named after the nip because she would probably give her life if it meant she could bite me one more time): Female, [Butter/Lesser; Clown] (I actually don’t know if she’s Butter or Lesser or if it even makes a difference)
Romeo: Male, [Banana; Special; Cinnamon; Possible Het Clown]
