noticed yesterday my Lima SN has a pectoral spine exposed on his right side. the membraine was torn from the spine, probably during a feeding binge. Nothing concerned me until now when i noticed he has developed a clear-fluid filled sack on this wound. anything to worry about? developed overnight and need input, thanks in advance!
Bubble on wound????

This is at the wound site?
I would not worry for at least a couple days unless it turns milky or pus yellow or the tissue around it starts to swell. if the wound hole through the skin was small and the tissue beneath it was cut or scratched and the skin pull away just a bit you can get fluid build up beneath the skin when the hole reseals itself, it is called a bleb. As long as infection doesn't set in the fluid will be reabsorbed and it will go away, if it persists you can use a fine tipped exacto knife to cut a slit across it to drain and then swab it with iodine or hydrogen peroxide.
