My snake has an inflammed growth after rat bite. Help!

[Stewart_Reptiles]

A few weeks ago, I left a rat for my albino to feed on overnight but apparently the rat attacked her and left bites all over her body and her tail was a bit gnawed on. The superficial bites on her body healed but the one close to her vents has not. It is now swollen and bruised in color.

What should I do to alleviate this? I need suggestions!

You are lucky it was not worse than that, this is a typical what not to do when feeding live.

Feeding live responsibly means NEVER leave a prey unattended with your animal let alone overnight, always removed if uneaten after 20 min.

If you cannot feed live responsibly please feed F/T

Now when it comes to your snake chances are there could be an abscess which in that case would need to be drained and anti-biotic prescribed so take your animal to a vet
