Hi,
I have a young Asian Trinket ratsnake who, during her last shed, had a problem where the scale on the top of her head was somewhat removed along with the shed skin. This left the area raw, though not bleeding. Now she is in shed again and the area looks, well, rough.
I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to help soften that spot for her next shed by dabbing a bit of mineral oil on it. I just don't want for her to have a bad shed, or to make the damaged area worse.
What do you think? Does this sound good/bad? Any other ideas?
Thanks,
- Mark
