Re: Injured Ball Python
Yeah, sorry the picture isn't very descriptive I guess. It's definitely a laceration. Not scale rot, but the other (I'm really not sure which is which *embarrassed*) is also much drier than expected. Coconut husk bedding (damp, not wet), very large water dish. They've been with me for only a few days and have seemingly both taken a turn for the worse. I've got an appt in the mornin' with the best herp vet around, so I'll let ya know. He said to butterfly it with some Neosporin to keep it dry. I don't have butterfly bandages, so I attempted only the gauze portion of a Band-Aid, with some medical type tape. Needless to say, since I was on my own, and the snake is, well, very snake-like, it'll go uncovered until our appointment tomorrow.
Stay tuned... More details coming up right after the vet visit!
