Help.....snake was bitten by mouse

going though the pics. there one or 2 that sharper than other, by my look at the pic. I suggest getting some neospirion(spelling) with out pain relief in it and apply to the hole ( sore) and keep it coated for a while ( until will healing) that looks nasty place to get a chew mark. are you sure the snake not rubbed it head against something with a edge to it. and just cut it out like that.

I had the same mar on a hatchling years ago and it was from the tub ( it kept trying to push the lid up). I also suggest keeping it on paper towels until it healed and your not applying neo to it. ( to keep bits of bedding from lodging under the scab and such.)

I cannot tell too much by the pics, but from what I see is it doesn't look bad. I'd just watch it honestly. Applying disinfectant on it and accidentally getting it on the eye would be counter productive. That's just me. I deal with worrying too much too. They are resilient, if that injury would kill them there would be no ball pythons in the wild. Although, a cleArer picture may show us how bad it is cause the pics posted dont tell me much honestly

Oh and btw, snakes don't see well anyways, and there are multiple accounts of eyeless ball pythons thriving in captivity. I wouldn't worry too much about that either

Yeah, I have a crappy camera. They were the best out of about 20 that I took !! Sorry : (
I am pretty much leaving the eye alone right now and just checking it everyday. The hole on his head has been pretty much unchanged since the scab came off. It looks like his skull is showing though. I thought I read that ointments have petroleum products in them and they are not good for their scales. So is it okay to put Neosporin on it? I would like to do SOMETHING to get it healed.
NO. I have never seen him rub on anything except a branch when he was shedding. Doesn't mean he could not have done it before we got him as a hatchling. Oh, by the way, I will be trying p/k next feeding day. I hope he will be okay with that. And I have learned a lesson and will never buy from a pet store again !! They have been NO help to me at all concerning his head sore. Is there a directory of herp vets? I am in the middle of nowhere....
