Just leave it alone unless it is in a vital area like the eye or nose. Then just apply neosporin or peroxide.
Snakes are tough and wild ones have scars all over them.

I would put him on a substrate that won't stick to the wound like paper towel or newspaper. And I would put on a very thin layer of antibiotic ointment daily. Within a week it should be fully closed over.
