last night my bp was bit by a hopper mouse while constricting it. this is the first time this has ever happened in my eight years of keeping snakes and live feeding. the bit was very small, the hoppers teeth slipped in underneath her scales. i pulled its head up so it wouldnt be stuck in her while she contricted it. she ate it like normal. i quickly cleaned the spot with rubbing alcholol and put neosporin on it, the only reason i knew where the spot was was there was a little bump there, no blood. at that point i called the local petstore where i get my feeders, told the owner what happened, she said to clean it and put neo on it for 3 days then let it scab. she said it should be okay since i caught it right away and cleaned it. after i got off the phone i looked at it and saw that the bump was pink. i think it may have been bleeding a little bit at that point. later on in the night i was going to clean it and neo it without pulling her out and i had a good idea of where the bit was but i would not find it. there was no bump to be found, no pink spot, no oil spread from the neo, nothing. and i know where it should have been so i put the neo where i knew the bite had happened on her right side, about a third of the way down her body on her side and let her be. today i didnt see a bump or pink spot either. im taking this as a good sign.
any thoughts appreciated ive never had this happen.....
