    Damn bro.... Best of luck with to your lesser. Keep us posted on how they heal up. If you treat it, will there be any scars, and if there are, can he eventually just shed off the scars? Or are they perm?

    it depends, if they do go away, it will likely take a few sheds at least

    I think they will be permanent. I have a super pastel rescue that has a horrible scar on his back from escaping his previous owner's enclosure. By the looks if it, its nothing compared to this pastel lesser.

    I will make sure to keep everyone posted. I will head out to get some betadine in a few. By the looks of it, even though a Vet will know, the tip of his tail looks unfixable. He's better off having the few muscle still attached, amputated. It's barely hanging on. But we shall see.

    I feed live, but I only feed one snake at a time so that I can be there every second until the animal is completely dead and they start swallowing for just this reason. I've had to intervene a few times over the years. Occasionally if I drop a rat in and the snake doesn't go for it right away, but I notice the rat sniffing around and touching the snake, I recognize that they are hungry and rather than risk any damage, I take the rat out and put it in my temporary rat cage for a couple days with plenty of food and water. The next time I drop them in, they usually aren't so interested in jumping on the snake and the snake in turn is more interested in them because the snake is no longer being made uncomfortable by it jumping all over them.


    I'm so sorry this happened to your snakey. A very good lesson for everyone who feeds live though. I wish him a speedy and full recovery.

    That is so scary!

    I always try to see a positive side in bad situations. In this case at least your little one is still with you, it could have been much worse.

    I wish him a speedy recovery!

    So sorry this happened! I wish your boy a speedy recovery. This situation could have happened to any of us that feed live or even just have one picky eater that only eats live.

    I know it's upsetting, but you are taking responsibility and getting him to a vet.

    Best of Luck

    To all of you who feed live, I am not trying to deter you from it but keep a close eye on all your snakes when feeding live. I am the type of person that feeds one snake at a time and has something in my hand to separate the rats mouth should the snake wrap in a place where the rat can move his mouth freely. But this one time, I slipped up and paid no attention and look what happened.

    Re: Lesson for All *GRAPHIC*

    UGH.. this makes me sick. I do feel live as well and Im pretty good at paying attention to who eats and doesnt eat.

    I usually feed on Thursday evenings. Well Saturday morning is my time in the snake room and I open a drawer and whats in there.. A LIVE adult rat. OMG.. My stomach was in knots. Luckily no bite marks on her. BUT i knew i dodged a bullet.

    I hope your snake gets better.
