I picked up an 06 female BP on Wednesday in exchange for my leopard gecko from a guy that seemed to know what he was doing. Come to find out this guy was feeding this snake, along with all of his others, rats that were way to big given her girth.
I bring this gorgeous lovable girl home, and she rarely moves when I put her in her tub. I see this huge bubble in the middle of her, turns out it was a huge rat. I get home from work today, 4 days after the guy feed her, and she finally regurgitated. This guy just so happened to call after I was cleaning the cage, and I pretty much went off on him. The thing was
Anyway, after I gave her a bath to clean her up, along with her cage, I noticed a cut a few inches behind her head. It is about 1/8 of an inch long, and looked really fresh. I figure that the rat this punk feed her a couple days ago bit her, causing the initial cut, and when she regurgitated it re opened.
So, not to talk about the absolute frustration I felt, I put a little bit of neosporin on it with a Q tip, and covered it up with a band aid. I took out the substrate I had in there and replaced it with paper bags to keep the humidity low.
I will probably take her into the vet tomorrow and see what they have to say about the cut.
What do you guys recommend for the cut? Neosporin a good move? What about the band aid? I appreciate any and all input.
