The best and least expensive cure I have found for mouthrot is Nolvasan. It can be used full strength to wash the inflamed areas once you clean out the mouth. It does not kill new living tissue like using hydrogen pyroxide does, it just attacks the bacteria and clears it up fast. Be sure to hold the snakes head down while you are spraying or swabing out the mouth area, they can asperate by sucking the solution down the glottis into the lung. Dipping a q-tip in the solution and applying it that way may be the safest way but for really bad cases I don't know if you can get enough of it up into the nasal cavities and around the back area of the teeth with wiping it over the areas. Most online veterinary supplies have Nolvasan for sale. I also use it dilute in a spray bottle to clean Vision cages interior and keep a five gallon paint bucket with a dilute solution with cage hooks soaking in it. It does not corode the matal like a bleach solution does and it is half the price of Rocal. Nolvasan it both bacteriostatic and virucidal according to the label.

Hope it helps.
