Good job,Keep him on the paper and the rub clean etc.Keep an eye on him then take him to the vets tomorrow asap.
Where abouts are you located? As you might to be close to someone on here,that can tell you a good vet near you. |

No sorry Hayden was in a big panic and didnt think at the time just tried to help the animal by cleaning it out and disinfecting rub befor seeking cause of problem and the rub is very tite fitting (lid and access hatches I can't even get my finger in to pull lid off most of time) but thanks for suggestion
I.will investigate inot it more if ther is a weak spot on lid rub where escape may have been possible or to get stuck |

| it looks like it got stuck to some sticky tape this happened to my first corn snake when i was 14 my vet wouldn't see him (there was no reptile vets i knew about and we didn't have the internet) but anyway they told me to put antiseptic cream on it twice a day and it healed very quickly he just went in to shed and shed 3 times in a row then he was back to normal apart from some scares he only died last year at 16 years of age so not bad for a corn snake |

| Snakes will typically shed a few times to speed up the healing process, shouldn't cause any problems. I'm not sure if adding extra humidity will help or hinder though - all things the vet should have gone through with you really. |

| All the vet said was keep tank disinfected keep an eye on health and wound for drastic changes offer food as normal and as he is going into shed keep a closer eye on him for retaining skin but nothing about shedding a few times or wether to increase humidity but I shall ask on monday when I revisit for check up I know I have seen a vet but I would like to get a antiseptic of some sort to enshure full recovery could anyone recommend personally a reptile specific.antiseptic/healing aid ? |
