My python scraped his back on a log. Is it healing too slowly?

Question

This past shed, my python scraped his back raw on his log house to where now its scabby. But the shed was about 2-3 wks ago. I can tell its healing but taking its time. Should I be concerned? Attached pics of spots.

It looks like it is healing very well. As long as there is no discharge, pus or wet spot where the scabs are, I think you do not have to worry about infection. Hopefully with the next shed the skin will have repaired itself. You may need to check his log house for rough surface (ie too rough) and sand the wood somewhat so he does not scrape himself open again.
