I'm happy everything seems to be going well. To answer your earlier question, yes it is fine to use dilute betadine on your snake. Avoid the mouth, heat pits and internal exposure (like the cloaca if not tightly closed). Rinse off well. Another option is to use chlorhexadine, which has a slightly better spectrum of activity (if I recall correctly), and does not stain the skin like betadine before it is diluted.



If you don't already offer one, I'd also provide a dry hide box. That way your snake doesn't have to be in a moist hide if it wants to be secluded.



Take care,



Ian
