I guess there was a small amount of tissue damage from the digestive enzymes after all which opened up and healed again.I didn't think filming the drainage was in good taste.Yes, it's worth mentioning but only after it doesn't look too bad. It still feels a little weird, like a few days after bacon grease got on your skin.Still, my recovery is excellent and there's no need to seek medical attention. After feeling around the bone, I'm sure at least one fang bounced off of it.[ATTACH=full]33501[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]33502[/ATTACH]That sort of opened up when it became irritated, perhaps because I scrubbed it vigorously for almost a half hour under the hottest water I could stand.The actual puncture wounds were a quarter to half an inch away, but the pain did migrate to directly under that area for a time.  Then when swollen and discolored, the wound channel broke through.The injury faintly SMELLED like her when it was draining.Eeek!! Still, I don't regret rescuing her from that pet store for one second. I'm also going to rehouse her into a larger better cage much sooner to prevent this from happening again.---Still, shampain88's OBT encounter makes this whole thing look wussified to the max.</blockquote>
