What to do when your snake loses it's tail?
So, I took my corn, Chanel, out for a few minutes today and noticed some stuck shed on the tip of her tail- about a half inch was stuck. So I soaked her and rubbed it off. It seemed pretty thick like it was a few layers.
Her tail where the shed came off is noticable smaller than it should be. It looks kind of like a pen how it tapers. Also, it looks like a couple blood vessels burst. there's a spot of blood inside the very tip and also about a 1/4" up, there's kind of a band of blood inside.
I'm not sure if it's going to come off or not, and I know there's nothing I can do to stop if from doing so. I'm just wondering what, if anything, can I do if/when it does come off? Will it be an open wound? Do I need to put ointment or anything on it? Or will it come off during her next shed and be completely healed already?
I'm probably being paranoid (like Jason says ) but I want to make sure she gets the best care I can give her.
