Hello everyone,
I'm new. Thank you for this wonderful forum.
I did a stupid thing yesterday, please forgive me and see if you can help me and my ball python, Pearl. Pearl is about two years old. I rescued her from an animal shelter about a month ago.
The stupid thing was, I let Pearl out to slither around while I worked. My adult male leopard gecko, Bam Bam, was wandering around as well. He likes to go for a walkabout on my desk in the evenings. Well, when the snake and the leopard got near each other, the lizard bit the snake on the side of the head. And then held on like a cold-blooded pit bull!
I was able to separate them, but not before the damage was done.
The snake now has a bit of skin scraped off the side of her head. Underneath the skin is bald, but I did not see any blood. Just a shiny pink patch about a centimeter square.
I did not know what to put on the wound, so I just put the snake back in her cage and she went into her hideout.

The snake is about two years old and appears healthy, and eats regularly. This just happened last night.

What should I do?
