I'm not 100% sure on what is okay and what is not, I wish I could tell you something for certain. If I was in that situation, I would use neosporin, a light dab, I wouldn't try to actually bandage it, nature provides the best bandage, when air gets to the wound it promotes healing. Just have to worry about systemic infection or internal injuries. I had a snake escape, just a hatchling, and she was found three weeks later in my swimming pool. She wasn't waterlogged, but had a "dent" in her neck.... she ate twice then died. I set her in her rubbermaid container outside after she died, with the intention of disposing of the body, and events got in the way and I forgot about it. Next time I looked, she was a perfectly preserved skeleton.... you could see where six or seven of her ribs were broken at the neck, probably punctured something when she was swallowing her prey, and/or constricting it (I feed live pinkies) and she died. Next time I have this happen, I'll give a break from eating also, if I'm worried about any skeletal injuries. ----- ~Sasheena
