    INJURED SNAKE, need expert help***graphic***
    This morning we found that our young king young calking cut himself last night. Good amount of blood around his cage. I removed him from his classroom "display" and brought him home to his tub. He is active (looking for food no doubt) and doesn't seem to be acting any worse for the ware.
    Is this something we need to have a vet sucher up?

    I had something similar happen to my Corn not too long ago with a little help from the vet and some antibiotic treatment she is doing better. I wish you the best of luck and hope he is ok:)

    That's quite a bit of trauma.. the jaw muscle there looks completely exposed and the skin needs to be pulled back over and stitched. Hopefully the vet can fix him up so he doesn't have any permanent problems or get an infection. Good luck

    Thank you BPnet and cornsnakes.com communities...
    Was able to get Marty right in and he will be in surgery shortly. Current plans are to pick him up this afternoon and bring home for bed rest.
    Seems we may need to change our name to Scar Face. Will post up post op pics...

    I wish scarface a quick recovery. Do you have any idea how he might have done that? You might want to remove/fix w.e it was in his enclosure so it doesnt happen again.
