Last week I when was feeding my baby Carlotta SHE GOT BIT! Oh no! She only eats live mice (believe me, I tried so hard to feed her dead mice that I was afraid of starving her!), and I put her in a tupperware when she eats. She struck at it and killed it, but when she let go it seemed to be stuck on her. Looking closely after she shook it off and ate it, it seemed that when she was coiling it, it bit down on the soft strechy skin of her neck. It never bled, but it's very painful-looking. It's like it just pulled a flap of her skin off, and you can see her pink meat under it!

I let her live in the tupperware without sand in the bottom for several days. I've been putting Neosporin on it, and she's just started to live back in the main cage with her friend Julio and sand on the bottom. The wound seems to have dried out and doesn't look infected, so I'm guessing there is nothing more to worry about.

My question is, though, is something like NuSkin or Liquid Bandage an option when this happens? And also, I'm afraid of feeding her again, as I think the wound will stretch and reopen when she swallows.
