Hey guys so my boa has a scratch on his belly probably about .5-.75 inches long and it is obviously bothering him and i dont know what to do!

I would to treat it, my reasearch says to use a cleaning solution/antiseptic? and maybe even put a waterproof bandaid on it?

I will have pics of the wound soon, any advice would help

any advice?

Do you have any idea how he got it? Is there something in his enclosure that caused it? Do you feed live?

Why are you bleeding? I think the ointment should be fine. Just keep his tank clean and figure out what caused it. Snakes are pretty hardy animals. A good shed or two and he should be okay.

What Is in his cage that could have cut him? Pics? DO NOT STICK A BAND AID ON YOUR SNAKE. Also, neosporin is not good for their scales. Change substrate to paper towels and keep hospital clean. Clean with a diluted betaine. Perhaps a vet, as you might want antibiotics to keep it from getting infected. Keep a close eye on him.


Edit: if the blood is yours, is that a burn on him? What are temps? How are you heating? And controlled by what?
