I'm a newbie to the snake world and I've had my ball for a little over two months. My husband and I fostered her after she was surrendered to our animal shelter with a respiratory infection. Anyway, long story short, she bit 11 days ago. (It was my fault - I was moving my hand around in her enclosure trying to take temp readings with an infrared thermometer on feeding day.) It was a superficial bite and didn't bother me much until two days ago when it started itching really bad. Now the bite marks are red and puffy, which they had not been before (and I've been good about not scratching). I took care to wash with hot water and antibacterial soap, but is it possible for the wounds to get infected this far out? Any thoughts are welcome. TIA!
(I'd attach a pic of my hand, but it seems I don't have permission to do that.)
