Hi there my name is Andy and i have inherited a 3 yr old corn who has been attacked by a cat. He has many bite marks on his body and a black tail end.
I haved bathed him in warm water,but he still has diffuculty in shedding all his skin..... his head and eyes are healthy and he has eaten.
any advice would be gratefull. He handles well and seems a tough cookie!i just dont want him to get an infection.

when he's in blue and his eyes have blued then cleared add a damp hide with sphagnum moss to help him out

his wounds are a month old now and healing well,its just that the shedding skin sticks to the scabs. I havent taken him to a vet....... can you recc one in London west/Harrow/ruislip area. I will try get pics up later.

paper substrate to keep any wounds clean, tamodine or vetadine to bathe any wounds/scabs, damp hide or some Shed-Aid to resolve the shedding issue (though it sounds like it might be too late for his tail )

Hi welcome to the forum,

Sorry to hear about this awful attack i hope you have taken him to a reptile vet incase he gets the wounds infected, does he seem to be in any pain ?

How long ago was he attacked? Do you know the extent of the injuries? Has he been taken to an exotics vet?

Keep him on kitchen roll with a heat mat and thermostat. How big is the snake? Pictures of the wounds will help. Are they starting to heal? When did he last shed/attempt to shed?
