Question
please help i was force feeding my 3 foot olive python and his skin spilt what do i do

Answer
Depends on how big the wound is.  You may need a vet to stitch him up...  1/4 inch or less treat with Antibiotic ointment, beyond that use your judgement.  BUt, if you'd take your kid to the doctor for a wound like it, then you need to take your snake to the vet.
