p.s. please respond to me asap!
Put some Neosporin on it and monitor it. If it looks infected, take it to the vet.
My snake had a mild burn on it's belly. I monitored it, put neosporin on it...and 1 shed later she was fine.
Good as new.
They have awesome healing capabilities.
It will probably take about 5-10 shed cycles before it looks normal again. I bought a female that was only fed hampsters and was freshly missing about 1/2 inch of her tail. She is fine now, but it took a long time for it to scale back over and she was extra sensitive about it. Definitely treat with neosporin and if it starts to look infected, go to the vet.
