    Dora Escape, i think hurt the belly. help please

    Dora escaped from my glass tank some days ago and i when i got her she had a red belly , i think she hurted her belly with the edge of the glass tank. after a day the redness went away and now her belly looked damaged. is this something to worry about? there was no blood but im worried if this is damage as im thinking or an infection/iritation by something.

    Is it scratched or blistering? Any flaky scales or anything? Could it just possibly the pink belly that goes along with the shed cycle?

    A picture would help. Also, make sure you secure your tank well so this can't happen in the future.

    i can't take a photo since i don't have a digital camera and my gf's netbook the colours are not so clear. i applied some anticeptic (Rexoguard) to her belly she doesn't seem hurt tough.

    Well she either is hurt or she isn't. Snakes can't express pain or being hurt the way we can. Has it gotten better since using the antiseptic?
