I took in a rescue adult ball python who has a large open wound on the side of his body about half way down. The snake eats and poops regularly and seems active. I am keeping him warm and dry, and have applied neosporin to the wound a couple times. My problem is that he cant shead past the would on his own, so I ended up trying to soak him. I got the shead off, but soaking him makes the wound look pretty bad. It is a 1x2 inch large, deep woung (looks like a good amount of muscle and tendon exposed.
My questions are...
1. Should I avoid soaking him to let the would stay dry
2. Other then neosporin, should I dress or cover the wound?
3. Any other help with this is welcome
