    Need help fast.
    Hi.

    My new Cornsnake got in shed 2-3 days ago and burrowed under her hide,so i left her alone.
    Today i wanted to feed her and saw that she was partially shed and had a big black clump on her right side in the back area of her tail stuck between old and new skin.
    I soaked her in warm water and tried to remove all old shed and that black spot,a little flesh tore out with old skind and that brown stuff.
    Now all i want to know is if this is only a flesh wound or if they have anything important in that area that may be damaged?
    We go to the vet anyway tom. but i can't really sleep without knowing.
    And we moved her to a quarantine tank and treated her with neosporin without painkillers.

    You're not an idiot and I have no idea what that is other than to state the obvious by saying it is an open wound. I'm not certain that I would be putting neosporin on such an open wound.... I am very glad that you are taking it to the doctor tomorrow since I would worry about infection. Good luck and let us know.

    I've heard that neosporin without painkillers is good when in doubt. Let us know how it goes.

    Ueah,it's just that my vet is not really a pro in reptiles he just has some basic knowledge but better than me i guess.
    The next reptile experienced vet is 5 hours away.
