I recently noticed a small red swore on my python's gum line. At first I thought it was early signs of mouth rot, however reading over some of my books last night it might just be a swore. In any case I would like to clean it with some Listerine. I have already asked this question in the JCP without any responses, my question is with a very mean snake what would be the best method to constrain her while I clean/observer her mouth? I would prefer not to use the grab and hold and thought maybe someone had another way they like to use?

Any help would be appreciated.. Also she just ate on Sunday and has yet to go off weekly feed so his is good news of course I wouldn't try anything until her meal has passed..

Thanks,
