You would be surprised at how resilient these animals can be. You might want to make sure the temps are a little warmer than usual to help her metabolism and to help her stave off infection. Neosporin will be ok and keep her on newspaper/paper towels to help keep bedding from infecting/irritating her wounds. It will take a while for it to heal, and will more than likely leave scars.
Dont soak her too often, just make sure she has a water bowl large enough to soak in if she wants to.
Once the wounds scab over, you can continue to apply a thin coat of neosporin to help in reducing the scarring.
Good luck with your snake.
