Black Rat Snake Rescue

Its very good to hear that this poor snake is improving.

I'm very curious as to why you did not use ionic silver on the wounds? Did you consider it? Safe on snakes and effective... easy to use and get also.

Never heard of it?

I first encountered it for human wound dressing in products like these:

Aquacel Hydrofiber Dressings | Aquacel AG With Ionic Silver At MedicalMega.com

I was amazed how well it worked.

later I found it in a liquid form here: Survive on Silver - Ionic Silver Hydrosol

its actually very inexspensive for such an easy to use antimicrobial treatment.

Incomplete shed due to injury. My husband and I assisted with the shed and got all the skin off. However, getting the shed off also removed the scab on the wound; therefore it is now a raw sore area again. However, it does seem smaller than before.

My wife has been doing just as much of the care as I have and I think we have got her on the forum.

Then this is for both you and your wife for the effort you've put into helping this snake.
Thanks for taking the time to care.

well its good to know that she cares as much as you do most people wouldn't think twice about just cutting its head off, leaving it in the netting to die, or freeing it and just letting it go to die im glad both of you are not like this thank you

Good news, the digestive system appears to be working from beginning to end.
