#1: I have a coastal carpet python and he has badly burnt himself on the heat mat, he has about an 8cm burn on his belly like blistering and little black spots.. I was wondering if there is anything i can put on it like aloe vera because it is natural? Or is there anything i can get from the vets for him?
#2: While driving to Boulia i found an olive python that looks like it has been hit but now im starting to think it may be a stroke victim? Are strokes possible in snakes? He has not very much muscle control especially in his head and his left jaw is always dropped.. He looks like he is getting a bit better because now when i open the door of the enclosure he tries to strike. Should i be trying to feed him? Or would that just make it worse, i tried once but he didn't seem too impressed :|
Any help would be greatly appreciated Thank You.
