Challenge: KNOW A RELIABLE HERP VET??

[Czesia]

I have had a series of problems with my ball pythons and was wondering if any of you might know of a free online vet where people can chat and ask questions, or even a good place to post? We don't have any reptile vets here, and the one vet who is willing to even look at the animals charges too much. Any help would be useful. Thanks!

Let me guess, you lost a bet that the snakes couldn't swallow a human wang?!?

Check out Kingsnake.com. It's not an online vet, but they do have forums with some pretty knowledgeable people. Here is the link to the Ball Python forum: Link

Lately, the majority of the problems have been getting better. For instance, I have a young BP (~7-10mos old) that would not eat willingly without being forcefed. I finally overcame that last week, however, in 7mos, she has not defecated once and has eaten about 60-80 pinkie mice!

Thank you for the suggestion, but I've probably already visited all the major BP info sites, as well as many of the minor ones. There has been very little useful advice, and already posted forums are usually in regards to adult BPs, which can go much longer without defecation.

Any other ideas, anyone?
