I'm no vet, so take this accordingly. I've treated some rescued kingsnakes and a gophersnake that in some cases had abrasions, missing scales and one with a cut. I used Neosporin on all, and all were fine months later. Obviously, these snakes had surface wounds that were not badly infected.

Hopefully someone with reptile medicine knowledge will respond and either support or refute the use of topical drugstore creams on reptiles.

thanks for the info. so i can use regular human neosporin?
