Dumeril's has a scab?

[Starbuck]

double (triple) check all your parameters, try to find out if there is a reason she is rubbing. check out the 'blood python missing head scales' thread, they were having a similar issue; i think it was a design flaw of the tub that the snake could stick his head up under the lip or something.

You need to do more than just treat the rub, you need to find out why the snake is doing it and get her to stop. maybe its too hot/cold, maybe she doesnt feel secure, etc etc etc

She's so big that her 'butt' doesn't fit in her hides. Maybe she needs more secure hides. It's been very challenging to find hides for an 8 foot snake, so far, though.

You can make your own with wood or plastic. just get sheets and screw them to make a box with no bottom. Then you just cut an entrance hole.
