Thanks… should I bandage it somehow?
How did he cut it? U can’t bandage it I hope u don’t have sand in the tank. Take him to a vet or call them for medication and ask them. Use terry cloth towels or paper towels as the substrate

I can’t afford a vet… and there isn’t one near me. I think I will just keep an eye on it and see how it works out.

Wash it real good and put a bandaid on it, get some betadine or tamodine, he’ll be fine, just keep it really clean.

Did u have tile before?
No, I had her on a rocky/sand mat. She cut herself on it before but I thought nothing of it. This just happened, and I freaked out… so I threw away the mat. I feel much better now that you gave me some advice. Thank you so much! I took all of the loose substrate out of her tank and put down carpet… I’ll put the loose back in it when she is all healed. Thanks again!
