Ah yes, well I've taken out all of her substrate and everything now and she is settled in with the paper towels. Thank you so much! You're a life saver!Originally Posted by Bogertophis
Well yeah, you don't want this to get infected. It doesn't appear to be right now, so that's good. But scales protect their body, just as the outer layers of our own skin protects us- when it's removed, there's a risk. I'm actually surprised that it doesn't look more "raw"- doesn't appear to have bled.
When I saw this thread title, I assumed "oh just a few scales gone". It's also a concern that you said there are more scales missing underneath that connects to this injury. I really suspect she's a "ledge-climber", as that fits with where her injuries are. Silly snakes...they do goofy things sometimes, even when they get hurt doing it.
