if the wounds aren't to bad put him in a clean tank with paper towel, and put some polysporin on him, if there are any deep wounds at all, then for sure take it to another vet, Good luck and I hope it all works out for you and your king!

Sounds like good advice. I was going to say use Neosporin, but I guess it's pretty much the same. You might also want to raise his temps a few degrees to help the healing.

Yes, depending on the severity of the wounds...
If they are just skin-deep, you can bathe the snake in a solution of water and something i can't remember... BAH... it's brown-coloured... its a germicide... someone help me out here!

You should then apply polysporin (not the pain-numbing kind) and if you can, put some of that invisible bandaid stuff on the cuts. Keep him in papertowel with a water dish and plastic hidebox and maybe some fake vines.

If the wounds are deep, you'll need to find another vet.

If he is bleeding a lot you can put baking flour on it to stop the blood.
