Long story short my week been a pain in the neck all week ( nohing going as planned). well I got up yesterday morning and checking on the snakes and I find my butter ichigo side ( picture belowed) like this. I ran though everything I could think of it not a rodent attack since been offering ft this week ( and I did n't see the marks monday when I got to my mothers)
anyhow I can only think of one thing that possible done this. he attempted to escape the tub and got hung up between the lid and the tub side and the lid as he thrashed around adbrased the side until it was raw. and he then decided to rub it against it uneaten prey item ( most the time if i leave it ve night they eat it ) allowing it to become infected. I saw him in the water bowel ( yesterday mornig and pickedhim up ( smelled the rodentit was on the heat (not were I had left it ) so smelled bad fast. and I thinknig he may of broken a few ribs (since it so swelled up and such ) treating with neo ( type ) oinkment with out pain relief) and if not better by wensday making a doc appointment to have him checked out.
This is why I wise I could bring all my snakes to the new place so much cause I can check on them every day. and inspect them fo such injuries .
