I only suggest the betadine soak (after the snake's already been in the water for a while and has had a chance to drink) because it is a PAIN trying to thoroughly rinse a snake's belly unless you've got another pair of hands or two. Making it weak and keeping an eye on the snake (make sure it doesn't drink, etc) should prevent any ingested betadine problems.
I've had wonderful success with betadine keeping wounds clean for seveal animals (not all of them mine, though). I kinda just resign myself to getting messy, though 
If hydrogen peroxide also works (and without the yellow stains on your hands) then hey, that's something to try too. Whatever works, works, and that's what matters!
