I recently took an albino cornsnake from someone who didnt want it, and obviously didnt care for it too much... I noticed she has a scracth on her body and a couple of scales seem to be missing. It doesnt seem to be hurting her in any way but does anyone know of any treatment she may need?

i think if it doesnt seem to be hurting her just keep an eye on it and make sure it stays clean
sure someone else will be able to help you a bit more

wait until she sheds and it may well improve. but if the injury looks angry or infected it may be worth taking her to the vets for a check up. also post some pictures.

clean with tamodine or similar, twice daily if it's a fresh wound, once daily if it's not

change the substrate to paper to help keep the area clean and keep the enclosure spotless

As above, Tamodine will clean it if it looks fresh/raw. The injury will disappear after a few sheds.

That's what happened when I got mine;

he has a little bit of purple showing around his head; I think its a burn from before I had him... But it seems to be disappearing the more it sheds.

keeping it clean is key don't want any infections.
