 CORN WITH BAD BANG TO THE HEAD

my mums corn snake has got a pot in its vivarium, and the corn had curled up inside and he was exiting the pot and it lifted the pot up with it’s tail and it fell and landed on it’s head. it is getting ready to shed and from the bang to its head the skin has already started to peel off, the snake doesn’t seem to have any cuts and it fed fine straight afterwards. i can’t see any difference in his attitude and he hasn’t regurgitated his food.is there any physical signs of illness or damage that i should watch out for, so any HELP would be grateful. Cheers dave

Donkeydave!!!The only sign i would say you could watch out for is for slight dizzy/wobblyness,thats the only thing i would say watch out for,otherwise he/she is fine.it was probably just a slight bump!

 CORN WITH BAD BANG TO THE HEAD

took him to the vets and all they said was there is inflamation in it’s left cheek and gave me some fluid what i don’t know what it is but they said to give him it twice a day A TINY DROP but they said if there is a fracture than it could be fatal. BUT I WON’T KNOW ANYTHING TILL I TRY TO FEED HIM NEXT TUESDAY AND IF HE FEEDS HE WILL BEEN FINE. thanks for all your support and if you have any advice thanks. Dave
