So I came into the office Monday to find out that one of my employees had brought his family down to the office and fed Cola on Saturday without notifying me. I've always been the only one that fed her and have never hinted at the fact that I would be okay with anyone else doing that. Now, while the snake is here in my office and everyone is able to enjoy having her around, there is no question that this is MY snake and I am completely responsible for her care. She stays in my office behind a locked door. It just so happens that the person that did this has a key to my office.
I was a little perturbed about it but let it go because she had been ready to feed (it had been about 8 days since her last meal), but I let it go.
I'm back to being really pissed, though, now that I had her out and about this morning and discovered a feeding injury underneath her head. About 3 inches back on her belly she has a small puncture wound (I'm assuming from the rat's teeth or nails). She has never sustained any notable injury during feeding while in my care, but that isn't to say this wouldn't have happened if I had fed Cola. But now I can't stop thinking about it, you know, wondering "what if I had fed her... would she still have been injured"?
I already told everybody that I don't ever want that happening again without my presence. Just more ammo for me to convince my wife to let me bring her home! She is weakening her stance, now that I've had her more than 7 months and there haven't been any issues with her at all. Maybe I'll get her home soon
Anyway, here is the best pic I could get of the injury. Should I put neosporin on it or something? How do I care for this?
