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
Kingkenny. |

| 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 :) |

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! |

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?
Thanks Kingkenny |

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... |
