Ryan was sweet and sent me a pm asking how Talyn was healing up, so I thought it would be good to write an update.
She's doing VERY well. She had her stitches taken out two weeks ago and the wound has closed nicely. Unfortunately her scales around that area will not grow back, so it will always look a bit "stretched" there with white skin showing through. She's still a bit sensitive and pulls away if I touch it too much.
At the moment, she's starting to get cloudy and her belly has gotten VERY pink -- sure signs of an impending shed... (synchronized shedding with Q!) So I hope it will aid in the healing process.
Here are a few pics of the wound today: the big one is still rather scabbed in the center and raw around the edges, but the second, smaller cut is hardly noticeable at all. I hope that with each successive shed, the big one will also look better.
NOTE : These pics are still NOT pretty!!!!!!!!

Talyn torn up and
Reptile Wounds if you want to see how it looked before. (ONLY for strong stomachs!!)
