Re: Help!!!!
Reptiles are often stoic. I've never seen skin just seperate, was it a live rodent? Could it have bitten him?
A tub is cheap at walmart or the dollar store if you decide it would be easier to move him to a new tub, instead of emptying the tank.
Non-pain relief neosporin only, and I hope he heals up. If it doesn't look like it's healing, I'd definitely say a vet visit.

Re: Help!!!!
It only happened last night right before my first post on here. The mouse was dead and dethawed. It was the first time he has eaten in a few weeks and the mouse was also the same size we have been feeding him.

I thought you weren't suppose to fee during or right after shedding because their skin/scales are so sensitive at this time. That is probably what happened.

Re: Help!!!!
I think it has been a few days since his shed. I didn't know he was coming close because last time I played with him he still looked glossy.
Here is his cage.

Also, what do you suggest cleaning/disinfecting with?

Re: Help!!!!
What could have happened is he scraped his heck on the log in the process of striking/ constricting.

If they seem jumpy they should be handled as little as possible until they have completed their shed, and if fed should only be offered small meals. This prevents a large meal from stretching out the delicate new skin and causing injury.

Re: Help!!!!
What is your habitat like? Do you have a heat lamp? Perhaps too close to lamp caused the initial affected area which was aggravated by having a meal ...
