I'll keep you and Stewie in my thoughts and send good karma your way. :)

Stuff like this always happens at the worst possible time. I think it's a law or something. lol

Be sure to let us know when you find out the results of his blood work. *hugs*

Considering you have all his temps right and humidity good, my opinion is he's damaged his scales then. The scales on his sides might be messed up from trying to "squeeze" him self in the edge of the lid or overly rubbing on a hide/other item in his home. I'd check his cage for any thing with rough edges and just keep an eye on the missing scales. Do like some one else said though and use some ointment on where the missing scales are just to be safe. Don't worry your self too much. I'm sure it will be fine. :)

Im not sure i saw that about the ointment.
Can you tell me what i can use on those open wounds.
I think he must have gone backward on something in his tank. I do have a half log in there.

Thanks Becky, Ill try to not worry...

... I have a snake right now with a spot very similar to that on his nose. Take a q-tip, and put a little bit of hydrogen peroxide on it, and gently dab it on the areas where he lost the scales. You don't want to put a lot on, but just enough to moisten it. This will help keep those spots nice and clean, and hopefully prevent infection.

I know that some people use Neosporin WITH OUT the pain reliever in it. Just us a tiny bit on the sore with a q-tip. They say it works really well.

awww you're so sweet.. thank you for considering that.
I think it is a law.. it's like one blow after another without even recovering from the first one.

I will let you know when i hear the results.. i am certain that there is nothing with him... but it's always a relief to hear it. The vet said that Stewie looked a very strong and healthy snake, and all the people at the ER loved him. It felt good to know that no one was scared and everyone was thrilled to meet him. The only downside was that when they brought him back to me, he had musked so bad it smelled awful.

You can try and see if he will take it. Maybe just offer him some thing smaller than you normally feed him. He looks to be a big boy so it wont hurt him to go with out for a while. Maybe just offer him some thing every 10-14 days until he picks back up on eating normally again.
