Take the snake to the vet, you will most likely be given either oral or injectable baytril. Ask about a culture and sensitivity test to see if injectable baytril is required. Also he may tell you to put Betadine on it. Tell him no thanks and go buy some at walgreens for 6 bucks, it is also known generically as povidone-iodine, works great but makes a mess, apply it everyday with a cottonball. It will also help if you put your snake on newspaper. You will not notice the redness go away until the snakes next shed which will clear it up, good luck Brian.
