Since moving my corn to a wooden Viv with glass doors, it has been rubbing it's nose in the gap and has now caused a small dry , clean looking wound but it looks quite deep. I have covered the edges of the doors but should I put anything on the wound to prevent infection or just leave it to heal on its own.
Thanks

Spine bars are good. I use them on my non-vivexotic vivs.
As for problem sheds, the wound might cause a bit of shed to become stuck around the wound. I lightly mist the viv every day after his eyes clear up until he sheds, but still had a bit of shed stuck to his face. To get this off, I put him in a small plastic tub with a damp towel in for half hour to loosen the stuck skin, and then used a pair of nail clippers to trim away the excess shed without pulling it from the wound. Hopefully, this should clear up in his next shed... |

I think they are called spine bars, you get them from stationary shops , they are plastic to hold paper together. That is what I have used, thanks for the input.
Do these wounds cause problem sheds?

As above. My big male rubs his nose every year during breeding season and gets these wounds, but this is the first year he has been in a viv (he was in a tank!).
Can I ask what you have coved the edge of the door with? If it's tape, I would remove it as he can rub it loose, and this will cause you a massive problem! |

As QueenVic says just keep an eye on it till he/she sheds you could maybe put kitchen roll down to avoid irritation or infection :) |
