What is this?

Since I am too new to be able to identify worth a bean, what type is she?

Silvadine SSD ointment is very good on these type of skin injuries. You will need to keep a close eye on this one when it sheds next. It looks like there is actual skin and scales missing. When he/she sheds you will have an open wound down to the muscle. Then the ointment treatment will become even more important to keep it from a more serious infection. A wild caught that I had needed 2 sheds to repair the damage it had incurred. The ointment was paramount to his recovery. Since it's on top, keeping the med. on the injury shouldn't be too difficult. Good luck and your buddy is in our prayers.

I first learned of this "miracle cream" when I was attempting to fix moms furnace and it discharged high pressure steam into my face.

No scars, absolutely wonderful stuff, we also keep it in our first aid kit at the race track.

Then when my reptile vet said to use it on my snakes, She tried to sell me some, said sorry I keep that around anyways.

I've used it for sunburns. Love the stuff.

i had one who was cut so deep you could see the muscle, and even parts of organs...... it took 5 or 6 sheds to even cover the would with a very thin transparent layer of skin.......

Okay... I'll be the turd in the punch bowl...

If snakelette was burned - how did that happen? And is there a way to keep it from happening again??? Maybe the kids should NOT be messing with the snake without adults supervision?

Accidents do happen. Given the fact that he came here for help shows a responsibility to the snake. If it was the kids, I am sure that issue has already been addressed in a manner not as public as this forum.

...and you're not a turd... just a concerned herper!~

Well, thank you, Mr. Jason Pratty! I do appreciate you taking things in the manner they were intended and not widening my trachea with both of your boots!

You present excellent points that my perceptions find difficult to grasp. You're right. I like the enlightenment.

Thank you very much for both understanding and giving understanding. And realizing I wasn't trying to start a fire, but well... I thought needed to be addressed. And I guess I was wrong.

THANKS!!!
