Unhappy Help Chicken Beak Went Through My Snakes Neck

My diamond has not been feeding so i tried to force feed him with a bantam chicken head and it went straight through the side of his neck. The wound is only about 4mm long and there is no blood. What should i do.

why not take it to a vet now? most have an after hours vet if needed. if it had been a family member that it happened to you would take them to the hospital why not your pet?

I agree. How long hadnt he eaten? The can go without food for like 2 months. You should NEVER force fee your snake!! You should take him to the vet now, and to a vet with some knowledge of reptiles. Call a few places.

You should have taken him to a vet after 3 months of not eating if you were worried, not forced food down its throat!
