| Henry just shed for the first time since her op. Where the skin got cought on the stiches, she ahs removed a scale. Its a dark red/purple colour around the there is the scale shape indented in it. It looks like it could get infected, so what should i clean it with? Im guessing Tamodine? |

if you are worried about it you should
consult your vets, and see what they say
they never go wrong on a week day ,allways a week end when the vets are

| i'd bathe it with Tamodine (an iodine that's safe for reptiles) then apply a blob of Vaseline to act as a barrier. what substrate is she on hun? would be worth changing to paper temporarily |

| Can't offer any advise I'm afraid, I just want to wish her well and I hope she recovers soon. |

| when she next looks like she's going to shed it might be helpful providing a damp hide to ease the whole process. hopefully then she'll shed without damaging the area around the surgical wound, so she'll heal quicker. glad she's generally ok though matty |

Thanks all
Its healing over ok, shes having the stiches out in two weeks-ish so it shouldnt cause any problem once they're out. She will just have a cool scar that she can brag about to the other snakes  |
