Hi everyone. I’ve had my corn snake Peaches for about a year, and yesterday I noticed her tail looked like this. I’m not really sure what’s happened but I have a feeling some dead skin has gotten caught and caused any circulation of blood to get to the end of her tail. This has only been here for a few days if that, as she was fine last week. There’s no way she would have injured herself in her viv, so I’m unsure if it could be anything else?
Has anyone got any advise? I’ve soaked her tail in some warm water but I don’t want to stress her out too much. She’s going into shed soon, so would that help remove the skin or make it worse? I have been spraying her viv with water to keep humidity up and have never had an issue before.
Do I need to take her to my vat? He specialises in reptiles so I know I can go to him. I’m just worried about her, and I’m worried it hurts her? She seems fine in herself and is eating and drinking fine and has been fairly active as well.
