What would be the best way to treat a little bit/scratch on your snake? Also how could i switch my snake over to a prekilled diet?

Thanks

Well for the wound, I'd wipe it clean and put good old neosporin on it. I had one ball python take a nasty rat bite once and I used that on it, seems to work well. If its only a superficial scratch, it will probably do fine on its own.

As for switching, there are several ways. One way I know is that you can go cold turkey and offer only f/t or prekilled until the snake takes it (use tongs to make the food "dance").

I take it your snake got bitten from a rodent?
