Here are some before and after pictures of Blaze. Thanks for suggesting this, Dave. I didn't realize how much he's healed.

These first two pictures were taken December 18, 2007. That was a few days after his injury.

These two were taken February 20, 2008 just after he shed.

I thought it was a lot worse but could not find the older pics. Thanks for showing them all together and keep us posted on his progress. They do heal very slowly so will be a long time.

Are you using any antibiotics on him to prevent infection?

Also, should go without saying but, a pristine cage with NO "substrate" is definitely in order. Just paper liners, nothing to get into the healing wound.

Rachel,
..Always a good idea to use antibiotic ointment on a would like that. Though that one is not infected. It has nice granulation. It looks like it is healing very nicely but it will leave a scar.

wow that is a huge difference cant wait for that lil booboo to be gone still a awesome looking rainbow glad blaze is in good hands would suck to see such a pretty rainbow or any snake for that matter in the hands of some1 who doesnt care if somethign happens.

Yowza, that looks like it was painful! I'm glad he is on the mend. Please keep taking pictures as he heals. It will be interesting to see the entire process.
