Again.....Every animal is different so it may be a month or a year if you looking for someone to say "In three weeks stop treating the area" you wont find them. You'll have to keep treating it till it healed how long will that be who knows just keep treating it till its healed.

ok i'll try to get some pics of the spot after he sheds

I try not to be rude, BUT...

Why are you being so hard headed about the husbantry? You are asking how long it is going to take for his skin to heal... One of the major factors in a speedy recovery is SEVERAL PROPER SHEDS! The only way to get proper sheds is to have your husbandry perfect!

Further more,

YOU POSTED YOUR QUESTION IN THE HUSBANDRY SECTION OF THIS FORUM!

People in this forum are very good about not attacking new bees that make mistakes. They are quick to point out mistakes, but they do so in a caring way! The reason you are getting attacked is because you are asking for specific advice, then you give the respondent crap when they are right!

Your other threads have CLEARLY shown that your husbandry is WRONG. Your husbandry is what is screwing up the snake. Your husbandry is what hurt the snake in the first place. Swallow your pride, and look through the stickies for the basic setup. Without fixing your setup... the snake is going to die.

DROP THE TUDE, be nice, and listen to the advice when you ask for it! We are glad you are here, and look forward to your future posts. We will do everything we can to help you learn if you let us. We are your friends. If you don't want to be friends, then find another forum.

ok since you are neither mod, admin, or even veteran i will tell you to drop this "tude". My husbandry may have been what caused this but, as he is my brothers snake all i did was check in on him from time to time. Now i have moved him to my room and am keeping an eye on him and my husbandry has improved so i suggest that you take a few steps back and review the question i asked; "how long should it take for it to grow back or scar over?" I got my answer which was, "any where from two sheds to a year "and that was all i needed thank you very much :mad: on another note his shed came off in two pieces without retained eyecaps. so i will try to get pics sometime today. with the newbies permission of course.

Lol, who saw this coming from a mile away?

Ever wonder why you only got 1 person willing to walk you through your question? Because you were VERY rude to anyone that posted something you didn't like about your snakes condition. All comments on husbandry advice was met with angry comments and in no certain terms to blow it out our holes.

So yes, your posting etiquette may have gotten better, but I can't say I blame any one for not being overly gracious to you in return in their posting.

You burned a lot of bridges when you pretty much told everyone including me to screw ourselves.

and to be quite frank i still stand by that decision and yet for the purpose of the snake becoming healthy i have come back to ask one simple question this.

as such this is my two sided coin if you can poke holes in my husbandry without being abrasive about it i welcome you to but you get what you give with me.

now unless any one has anything substantial to offer like a way of healing this thing faster then i have an essay to write

So let me get this strait... So now I am the new bee? Listen here sonny, I owned my first snakes, and various other reptiles before you were even a twinkle in your daddy's eye.

When you are screwing up, making wrong decisions for your poor snake, and someone quickly points out the errors of your ways, it is not being abraisive. It is trying to stop you from injuring your snake.

This is a forum. If something is wrong, someone will say "You are doing this wrong." They are NOT going to say, "sorry, but mr. serp, if you don't mind sir, you may want to review this situation, I am sorry but I am not trying to offend you but i just think that may be wrong, but please forgive me for bringing this up."

You need to get over your mommas boy mentality of requiring everything be served to you on a silver spoon in order for you to accept it. It is only going to hold you back in life. GROW UP!

Jeesh! :8:
