Hi,
My baby snake was squished fairly hard with a cage door. There is a dent in her scales, and I'm really worried. What should I do besides taking it to the vet?:eek1:
 
There's really not much else *to* do. Keep her cage clean, make sure temperatures are spot on, and don't feed her for a week or two. And take her to the vet.
 
I have an adult with crush injuries so severe that the ribs and spine in the first third of his body are distorted (a kamikaze snake that - as an adult - tried to jam himself between the sliding doors of his viv in a mating frenzy). The vet x-rays look appalling but he eats and leads an otherwise normal life, just with a rather peculiar range of movement.

By all means visit the vet, but the bottom line is that there's nothing much you can do for broken bones (if that's what's happened) in Corns other than wait for them to heal and see if they have any adverse effect on eating, or have caused internal damage.

The vet told me that the injuries to my Pumpkin would worry me far more than they worried the snake, and this has proved to be the case over the years.
