Hey,

so here's the story. Early august I was feeding my BP's. But it seemed my female didn't do a very good job at strangling the rat. It looked like she only made it pass out cause when she was halfway eating it, it regained consiousness and started struggling. I didn't really know what to do with it cause only the back legs of the rat where still outside of my BP :s. Afterwards I saw she had a wound near her mouth (i guess from a scratch from the rat...). I didn't really want to put betadine or something on it cause it really was close to her mouth so i just cleaned it with some water and i had put her on some paper towels in stead of aspen to make sure it stayed clean. It started to heal really well untill she shed... Then the wound just gets open again, and again with every shed. Making that now, a good 6 months later the wound is still there... (see pics below).
It never seemed to bother her except when you touch it. She always kept eating untill a good 2 months ago. The husbandry is fine so I'm thinking it has to do something with the wound... Does anybody know if and what I can do about it?

Thnx






(Not the best pics, but she really wasn't to happy that i was keeping her head still )
