Re: ball python wounded
HAHAHA, same here mate,
So I took spots to the vet and $114 later for a shot of Baytril (anti biotic), and Bedadine to apply twice a day for a week. Vet also try to get me to pay a additional $50 for a poo sample test for worms.
Now hoping for a fast recovery.

I believe you are mistaken, I have research to back it up, I just need to locate it. I'm not having a go at you.

Please do, I would love to read the research on that. This is the first I have ever heard of it.

Re: ball python wounded
I know there is more in depth research. I know this is only "eHow" but it will suffice, I'm still looking though...

Re: ball python wounded
From my understanding Jay is right. When a snake gets hurt they will shed a little more often to help get rid of the issue. I have also read this in several places but am unable to find the links... ( I need more coffee!!!) If I find them I will post them asap

That makes you better than sooooooooooo many people who drive-by post here. Kudos for being able and willing to do what's necessary for the animal's well-being.
And I've heard as well that they tend to shed more often when injured. It makes sense when you think about it; we can replace just the little bit of skin (scabbing). For them to replace it, they must generate a whole new suit

Yes, they will shed more often if the skin is injured.

Does any of the excerpts you guys have detail how and the cause of going into the shed cyle?

Re: ball python wounded
From my understanding although they do shed when they grow this isnt the "cause" of the shed. I believe they can initiate teh shed sequence at any point when they need too and being injured is one of these cases.
When my baby corn escaped he managed to rip some scales of his back squeexing through the gap, he has shed the week previously and shed twice in about 20 days afterwards which left him with a non damaged skin.
