and i was wondering if Silver sulfadiazine cream would help heal this a bit faster. i have a whole lot left over from when i adopted a gecko with some open woonds, any suggestions would be apprecated, thanx

Those look like bite scars from feeding live prey. They do not look open, so I would leave off with the cream or ointment of any kind. Also, if you feed live, I would stop immediately, and go to prekilled or frozen/thawed. Next bite could be fatal

I agree with BurmBaroness, if its not open leave it be. Also keep in mind that snakes heal very slowly.

i dont feed live to any of my snakes they all eat F/T. i am still curious where they came from though

I didn't think you fed live. They look pretty much on the way to being healed up. They should shed out with a few sheds.
