Ball python help!?!?!?!?

Question

my ball pythons lower body is swollen and is not firm like the rest of its body. for the past few days he has been darker and looked like he needed to shed but today his eyes were cleared up and looked a little less dark but there is no skin in the tank and his lower body above his tail is swollen. what is wrong with him? he ate about a week and a half ago

Answer 1

if the snake hasnt made poo since eating that is probably what is "swollen" in him and will come out soon.  a snakes skin will "go back to normal" a few days before the snake sheds.  your snake will probably shed and poo in the next day or so.

Answer 2

take him to the vet
