Today our Ball Python was badly cut when he managed to squeeze himself in between the glass coils of a florescent UVB light. The light popped and he cut himself on the back muscle.
We called every single vet in the surrounding area, but not one is even remotely interested in helping and all it needs are a couple of stitches. The cut is only in muscle and there was very little bleeding.
I will have to doctor it myself and would like any advice, but here is what I've done so far.
I used sterile SABAX water to flush out the wound and used surgical tape to close it quite nicely.
I also used Vet Flex to wrap around it body since it can easily be removed and will prevent him from rubbing the plasters off.
I sterilised a holding container using hot water, but my main worry is still infection. Is there any antibiotics one can use?
