Re: what to do when your retic is wounded ?
First of all....HYDRATION. He looks like was dehydrated or had a bad shed (usually go hand in hand). That, or the meals you are giving him are WAY too big. Could you clarify how this happened? What are you feeding him? how big is the prey? set up? etc, etc. I honestly wouldn't feed him until that's healed up...especially if it keeps tearing open. screw the neosporin, betadine soaks is the way to go!

i think his not dehydrated master because i put water in his cage maybe his preparing for shedding,. yuhh , absolutely right i'm giving him too large meals ., such as rats and chick ., actually , i haven't notice that my dad puts a large rat at his cage in the evening .., then suddenly as i wake up i just saw my retic is already wounded and the rat is dead ., and every time i feed him his wound is opening ., should i wait till his wound heal then give his meal ? or just give him a smaller meal ?

Wait, he left a live rat in there overnight and that's how the snake got injured?

the wound needs stitched up by a vet
or you stop feeding him until it heals itself (not really a good way to do it)
