This is good advice. To add more specifics, this is what I do:
Colgate makes a product called Peroxyl. The active ingredient is hydrogen peroxide, but it's made for oral use. You can get it anywhere. I bought some and put it in a small spray bottle. I pry the snake’s mouth open and spray t all over making sure to get the parts that I think are infected. I follow the directions which say to let it sit for one minute. Then, I have another spray bottle with pure water and I use that to rinse really well. I usually only do this once a day, but I doubt it’d hurt to do it more often. After 3-4 days, you'll definitely see results. Hope this helps and good luck!
Oh, also, the DO make Chlorhexadine for this purpose and it comes in a spray bottle already. This works well, too.
