I fed Jackson an adult mouse today because the pet store was out of rat crawlers. I watched him the whole time and everything looked fine, but as he was swallowing I noticed that the mouse had given him a pretty good gash on the side of the neck. It looks like peeling scales. Should I take him to the vet? Is there a home remedy I should use? I feel just awful... I will def kill it next time I give him an adult rodent...
That's what his scales are all about! He will be fine. You can use neosporin, in do time the scales will heel with every shed.
