[Gordon21]

Well i was checking on my BP cuz i really havent been giveing them much handling really last month or so and i go to check out my 3 1/2 foot long girl and well she hasnt been eating for like 3 weeks i thought it would be just off feed but i seen tonight that she had a pretty bad open cut type scrap thing like a circle all open and i went an put some neosporn on it cuz i kno thats what is good to help and i was just wondering if anyone have any more info what i should do?

A photo would be helpful!

If it is really bad a vet visit may be in order

[Gordon21]

[Gordon21]

yea not sure what happend to it on the other 1 but any one got any info?

[BPelizabeth]

wow.....do you know how this happened? Keep a close eye on this for infection....check it everyday. If it starts to look crusty or like it is oozing puss around it.......you need to take her into the vet..



LOL....I just got censored on one of the words....I looked at it....and that is NOT AT ALL what I was trying to spell....lol...ooppsssss

Was the snake just fed? Thats quite an odd buldge.

This definitely needs to be looked at by a vet. Go, NOW.

Have you been leaving rats in with this snake for long periods of time? It looks like it could very well be a rat bite and I see a number of other scars in that second picture.

[loonunit]

Yeah, I agree, take her to the vet. It could already be infected.

well i got the snake from a bad pet store had no clue about BP and i help it sort of it was dehydrated and i got it better but yes i did leave a rat in for a period of time but i have a pic with the rat right next to that spot and the rat didnt do it a mouse did lol i left a mouse in over night and woke up and i seen it biteing the snake didnt really think it would do much so grabed it right away and fed it to my other lil guy but ima keep puting neosporn on it for a few days if i see it getting worse then i will sure go see a vet and thanks everyone who help out there
