Worth treating?

[Albert Clark]

We're past that point, I got him with a burn over 70% of his belly that will no doubt result in more scarring then a rat is going to do. No he is mine forever. I moniter feedings so it's not like I'm leaving it in over night to chew on Sampson or anything. I do have reasons for continuing to feed live, although I understand why poeple choose to switch. I've only messed with him 2x after a feeding. Once when Sampson hit an artery (I guess) and there was rat blood EVERYWHERE (yuck!) and that time I mentioned before. Both times my snake seemed irritated and stressed. He is getting better at striking and coiling. He got lazy eating mice. I just don't know enough about snakes resistances to decide when an injury is bad enough to warrent stressing him out by treating.

Okay, cool I understand. IMO, snakes do have their own immune system that is able to help them with small things like rodent bites. Most bites are not serious. A few are. As long as your husbandry is good you are giving him a better chance to ward off complications from rodent bites. Good luck.
