Bigbarret85,
...If that is a burn it does not look too serious. I would apply OTC antibiotic cream like the Neosporin you mentioned to lessen the chance of it becoming infected. I would also make sure to keep the snake on CLEAN paper substrate until it heals. If it is a burn and it does not become infected it should heal fairly quickly. Any idea how it may have been burned? Do you use a hotrock to heat the cage?
...Scale rot would most likely be a fungal infection and might respond best to an untifungal OTC cream like Lamisil or Tolnaftate.
Good luck.
Jeff

>>I posted earlier this week about my 05' bci with possible stomach/scale rot or a stomach burn. I'm assuming its a burn. Is there any household medication I can apply to her wound such as neosporin or somthing along those lines? I am currently strapped for cash (college student, book buys, etc...) so i really can't afford to pay for a vet right now. Anything I can do personally to help her recover? Thanks in advance.
