Does not look too bad. Use Betadine washes and keep everything super clean. I had a rub mark similar to that on my Albino boa and was give Silvadene cream, and after the next shed it was gone. You will have to go to a vet to get it though.

Anyone else????????????????:confused::confused: how should I apply betadine?

That does not look too bad. Betadine can be found with the first aid stuff at a pharmacy. You can put some on a qtip and rub it on. Put him on paper towels to help keep it clean. Good job catching that and asking for help to fix it!

First thing is to calm down and breath.

Make a light tea colored bath of warm (low 80's) water and Betadine and let the BP soak in it once or twice a day for 10-15 min. Do not make the water any deeper than half the thickness of the BP.

Switch your substrate to paper towels until it heals.

It will not go away until the snake sheds again, maybe a couple of sheds, so do not freak out that it does not just disappear.

Edit: A little with a Q-tip will not hurt either. I just would not do it more than twice daily.
