Rats top teeth Penetrated snake?? What 2 do

Feeding today!! And a small sized rat bit my male het caramel....its not bad just a lil wound near the snakes head!

Do I need to treat it or just leave it alone?

Thanks!:cool:

I've had a few bites and they healed just fine. Just make sure you keep the tub clean and your snake should be fine. I really wouldn't worry too much unless there was a chunk missing. Keep a close eye on it. I think mine have all healed within a couple days.

Usually minor bites will heal up on their own. Leave him alone and let him digest for a day or two then take him out and have a look. If there's still an open wound at that point start dabbing on Neosporin (the kind without pain relief) once a day.

It will be fine if it's a minor injury.

:cool:Okay great...thanks guys! Its just a small wound, but I will check on him in a day or two!!

Thanks again!
