My lovely corn snake got a weird problem under his neck. One of the layers under her neck just lifted and im worried that it is deep or becomes deeper and causes infection or other problems. It seems that this has happened when he tried to pull his neck out of a tight space or against something!
its not just a little lifted skin, its part of a layer of his under neck!
Could you please advice...Im worried as usual ;) |

That should help with uploading pics.
If it isn't already, I would keep it on kitchen roll until it heals and try to keep the tank as clean as possible |

| no bleeding, it not swollen at all. He is active as usual. but I didnt let him out today as i though he might be safer in his cage, so after trying to get out for a while, he went to sleep. |

Nothing to stuck in but when he is going around my flat he tries to get in every single gaps, but they is nothing big enough for him to scape. I think he might just tried to get in some gap between wood flooring and when he was pulling homself against the hole, this may happen. I have no idea when and how this has happened, I just saw his neck today morning when he was lifting himself up infront of his cage windows. Thank you so much for your help. xx
