So my ball python has two wounds on her head. The top wound is larger and when she was young she burned her head on her heat lamp. It healed well and scarred over but something happened and it’s back and there’s another wound lower on her head as well. I have a cage over her heal lamp now so she can’t burn it again. I also cleaned out her cage and got rid of her substrate (it was orchid bark) and put paper towels until she heals up. I’m washing her wound and putting antibiotic ointment on it a few times a week too. I just want to know if I’m handling this right or if I should do something else.
Background info on her..
