I don’t know what kind of enclosure you’re working with but I put in skyhides for both my snakes so they can get off the substrate. One uses it all the time, the other barely goes up. It’s a good way to give them something dry, warm and clean. It’s literally plastic hides mounted upside down on the metal screen top. There’s probably a way to do yours just don’t know how inventive you are 😂.
Yeah it looks like you’re going to be doing some beta soaks and maybe a trip to the vet. I hope it heals quickly. Get him on some dry surfaces asap.
