Hi guys,
New to the forum, joined up because I'm having a few problems with my carpet python. This particular problem is about his skin.
He shed yesterday and it seems that it has pulled some of his scales off. These areas have been a bit scar-like since I got him and haven't caused him any issues that I've been able to tell. After shedding yesterday there's a few areas where it looks like the scales have been pulled off and they look raw and bloody.
What advice can you give me to help treat him? I have tamodine on hand. His heat lamp has always had a cage around it and I've never seen him touching it so I doubt that would have caused this.
I was planning on feeding him either today or tomorrow, should I still feed him or wait a while?
Thanks in advance.
