Hey buddy,

Some Betadine on a q-tip, raised heat, and, if it's still eating, some Nutribac for any stress-related issues from the condition. That snake is a beauty, and I hope it heals up quickly Douggy.

Doug, is that one of your pyros? Nice snake. Looks like the problem is going away to me. Do you know what the cause was?

I think that with each shed it will become less and less noticeable. It wouldn't hurt to continue to treat it with antiseptic though.

That's a nice looking snake!
