Help Ball Python tore scales

[mattj86]

I'm so sorry to read this, that looks like a pretty decent injury. I'd say a vet trip is in order.

Good call on the paper towel as substrate while the wound heals.

Unfortunately, those stick-on analog thermometers and hygrometers aren't just wildly inaccurate, they're also dangerous.

I wish you and your snake the best with her recovery. Please keep us posted.

Oh man, that looks painful.

1. Vet. Right away.

2. No sticky-backed item of any kind ever in the tank.

3. Let us know how it goes!

Vet opens at 730, I will be there waiting for them. I immediately removed the thermometer from my other enclosure. I knew it was not going to be very accurate, I never imagined this though!

I will keep you updated.
