Re: Please help!!!
sorry the pics aren't great but I can't stop shaking and have a crappy camera. He's shiny b/c of the ointment...He has a small ball type piece of skin behind the red spot on his neck.
Should I wait until morning and see how he's doing? I'm trying to settle down and not freak HIM out too much. He's in his hide...
I feel like such a TERRIBLE owner...

The snake should be fine, but you are never supposed to use tape in the enclosures.

He should be fine, but never never use tape on the inside of an enclosure

Re: Please help!!!
sadly I know that now...too late.
Think he should see a vet or be ok on his own? I don't mind taking him, but if it's a waste of money...

Re: Please help!!!
I think that should be added to the care sheet...I never read anything about tape...no blaming, just for future users new like me...

Re: Please help!!!
He should not need to go to the vet, he should be fine if there are no open wounds. The missing scales and the red spot should heal fine on their own.
I too agree that should be added to the care sheet, it is way to common of a mistake. Do not worry, your snake should heal just fine, and it is a lesson learned.

I hate learning lessons the hard way...and just feel bad if he suffered/stressed at all. I'll try to post pics in the morning when hopefully his skin isnt streched out...
Thanks for all the advice everyone

I agree. He should be fine. Doesn't look like much damage was done and if there's no blood that's a good sign.
As for the paper towels, i'd stick with them. I used to use small BP approved wood chip bedding but it got to be a pain in the real so I switched to paper towels.
SO MUCH BETTER!
Your snake will be alright. Just keep an eye on him. Most of the 'damage' should almost disappear during his next shed or two.
