My snake went behind the fire (wasnt on) He only shed few days ago so all nice with a fresh coat of paint. But he was stuck when he pulled him self out he has scuffed his scales about half inch from his head. Is there anything i should do ? there is no blood and he still roaming around like a nutter.

if its just scuffed scales i wouldn't even bother cleaning him, he will sort himself out within the next shed or two

yeah i lost the b****y whitesided ratsnake when i opened his tub to feed him last night, he's back safe and sound but they're so damn quick, i really hate hatchies!!!

and as for any treatment, as per lotabob above ^^ the scuffs should shed out in a bit of time

Just dont let it free roam, too much chance of losing them or them injuring themselves they can suddenly bolt and you'll have no chance of stopping them.

Thanks I didnt think there was much i could really do. Just another hole i now need to block up in the house :)

If its not an open wound just give it a quick clean with warm water, dry it again and leave it alone, any damage will shed out and the scales have done their job protecting the snake.
