My snake got bit
So I was feeding my snake his usual meal of 1-2 live mice, the first one went down with no issues. The second one was a bit feisty and my snake caught it wrong so the mouse bit my snake about and inch and a half behind the head. I immediately poked the mouse so he let go, my snake ended up killing the mouse. I noticed a bit of blood in the mouses mouth but that may have been his own from the constriction.
I noticed a small bite mark on my snake, no blood at all just a few disturbed scales. I applied triple antibiotic to the area (similar to neosporin) and 2 small scales came off. Still no bleeding but he seems to have a bit of pain when i was applying the cream.
What should I do now? He didn't eat the 2nd mouse just killed it. He is now basking in the heat lamp. Does not appear to be in pain.
