Help please! Snake got a bite while feeding

[jimmy89045]

Maybe the pic looks bad and its only a scale. In that case dont worry and keep the enclosure clean....
I still didnt know a mouse would do that though.. but im so paranoid as i get older I finally got all my snakes “even Burm” eating fresh kill and 2 of them Frozen.

Not trying to downplay the scrape at all just want to know how to deal with it. May also seem bigger because it’s on a small snake. Definitely is not deep at all and didn’t bleed at all so I think that’s good!

When I applied ointment and cleaned it up she stayed calm and didn’t flinch. Almost seemed like she knew I was trying to help.

I am considering switching to frozen after this incident. No matter how closely you supervise and how much care you put in it seems mistakes can happen
