    Unhappy Eaten Scales,...

    my local petstore had a forgetfull employee tonight,... the employee in charge of feeding the snakes left an adolescent mouse in one of the cages, when the owner found the bp about 1/2 its scales had been eaten. right as i got there they had brought the bp up to the front of the store to decide what to do, the owner then called the employee and fired her. i offered to bring it home and see what i could do for it i figure it deserves a chance at life so they gave me some directions and i wanted to check if there were things i could do in addition to try to help it

    the snake is about 8-12 inches long and in my opinion should be only eating two mice pinkies per feeding not an adolescent, none of his belly scales have been punctured, they suggested that i put him in normal tap water for about ten mins to wash the blood off then like a five min soak in betadine for the bacteria, the other herp person that works there recomended zoo meds repti wound-healing aid because it has a mild pain killer in it the owner also recomended using neosporin on it but i wanted to get a few other opinions i will have at least one pic up soon i cant promise quality because i cant pick him up except to treat him i dont want to risk infection,...

    P.S. I have purchased animals from this store for the last ten years and its hit the point that if they have something sick or injured come in they will offer it to me these are sweet people and the owner had a look of total heartbreak when he saw the snake so i know this wasnt an intentional thing on his part,... any and all help is appriciated thanks to all
