Bear in mind, I don't know your level of expertise with snakes, so please don't take offense, but here's my advice...
Ask a Vet before you give ANY medication to a snake. Giving a snake the wrong meds, or the wrong dosage of the right meds, can:
- Kill it. Some medicines are highly toxic to snakes.
- Fail to cure the problem.
A good Exotic Vet can:
- Properly diagnose a problem.
- Determine the proper course of treatment.
- Prescribe meds as needed.
- If home treatment is required, the vet will show you how.
In short:
NO! YOU should NOT give penicillin to a snake!
Contact a Vet - that's what they go to school for.
