Injured ball python

Question
Our snake got stuck to some duct tape. We got all the duct tape off of her with olive oil but some of her skin came off. Some of the skin that came off is still attached to her body. Also, we think one of her eyes may have been damaged. What should we do about the loose skin and raw areas?

Answer
Your snake needs veterinary care.  The wound will need to be debrided and dressed also preventative antibiotics would be a good idea. Next time take the snake to the vet while the tape is still on, it would have been cheaper, they have stuff which removes the tape w/o injuring the animal.
