I don't know if she is hurting or fine
So I fed my BP a live mouse and after I noticed a scratch on her back and a tummy scale pulled out. I posted the story and was told she would be fine. In both cases no blood was coming out. Her back is healing well but I'm worried about her tummy. I have been sterilizing it with water and checking on it. I want to know if its infected or just healing. She doesn't seem to be hurting and there is no blood. But it's colored funny and I'm not sure if she needs to go to a vet or if she is fine. Please help
Ps. I don't know how to get pictures on here so if u can let me know I can post them

She is on aspen right now but I will change it to paper towel then. I have slain solution that I can use. It has been 5 days since

It's the color of it that is freaking me out. Plus it's not shiny/smooth like the others

Your snake is fine.
Looks very very minor. It will heal with the next few sheds on its own and will probably be unnoticeable.
And do NOT use neosporin for more than a handful of times. Any oil based products soften the scales to mush. I personally don't suggest it for this situation since the wound is on the belly.

Looks like it will be just fine. Neosporin is not a good idea, it is not good for scales. I would just keep her on papertowels to make sure it stays clean. It looks minor, and like it will heal fine. May take a shed or so before it disappeares entirely. But I wouldn't worry about it.
