puncture wound after a fresh shed

[tttaylorrr]

I would check the plant and anything else plastic over in your chat, because the plants, especially the ones that are bendy, are flexible because there's metal inside. Sometimes the metal can pierce through the end of the plastic and it can be incredibly sharp, even if only a tiny bit is poking out.

With regards to the wound, I'm sure if you just wash it over and keep it clean, it'll be fine, but better off waiting for additional advice. I hope Yellow is okay.

the plant i have is all plastic but i know it has some sharp points. i'll definitely be checking it over and deciding if i can fix it or just get rid of it.
and thank you, i'm sure he's okay! i swear over the years i've seen more rubs and scratches on this guy than i would have ever thought possible for a snake. he's always getting into trouble.

Doesn't look like a big deal right now. Keep it clean and watch for issues. It should go away soon. Everything show's on albinos and BELs. I am sure that on "normal" colored animals this stuff is often there and we never see it.

thanks for the advice. for cleaning should i just use water and a q-tip, or some sort of soap solution?
and that's a good point about everything showing on lighter snakes, i'm just glad it's just a little poke.
