    Just keep an eye on his actions. If he is acting normal you shouldnt have anything to worry about.

    Where did it come from? I'd be sure to inspect the tank/tub/enclosure because snakes don't cut themselves like Emo kids.

    These animals are pretty resilient I wouldnt worry about it... Try to figure out what caused it so you can keep it from happening again but this falls under the rule "no harm no foul"

    is it bleeding? or just a surface scratch? If it is the later it could easily be the belly button!
