Hi my 16 year old corn has got a large open wound on the base of her tail, the scales are black and the open wound is quite large. She is fed dead mice and is feeding well, she cannot be burnt as the lights are all safely out of reach. I did not notice this last week when she was fed but she does have a tendancy to hang out at the back of the cage (I have to crawl in to reach the back) and so I have not handled her for about a week. My other three are all ok and show no signs of the same problem.
I have separated her into a super clean cage and will make a vets appointment but was wondering if anyone had any ideas how this could have happened. I have had snakes for 18 years and never had this problem before all been healthy and happy!
