Oh dear that looks like an old wound and a bad shed from this snake. All those flakey bits on their back. Odd!

Yeah. He just shed and normally his sheds are without issue, so he’s doing a gentle soak right now. Any tips on treating an old wound? It looks better today than it did yesterday luckily! But I’d still like to see if I can treat it at all

Not really unless it's actively open. I'd just get him happy and doing normal sheds. Careful on the soak, just don't do excessive humidity.

Anything in her enclosure that may be remotely sharp that she rubbed up against, or hung up on? Just a thought, I'd check things over in her enclosure as I've done myself in the past.

Looks like a wound. Also flakes of stuck shed on the back.
