treating a burn

[AlyF]

so i my snake has either a burn or an abrasion of some sort on his head. i have had other pets and putting polysorin works great i was just wondering if i would be able to put it on the snake.

it doesnt cool to bad i just dont want my baby girl to get an infection or anything from it.

Neosporin or polysorin should do the trick.

Oh, if the bedding starts to stick to the wound. Change it to paper towels til it heal.

Great advice. Also, try to find what caused the injury and sort it out so that it doesn't happen again.

If it's a burn, then it'll be from your heater or your light source.

If it's an abrasion, run your fingers over everything in the tank, including the edges and lid of the tank (in case there's a sliver of plastic or wood sticking out).

i noticed it when i first got her it just looks a bit bigger... but it up close it looks like its healing so i dont think its something in her present tank... ill still check just to be sure
