How extensive is the damage?

You can give the snake a quick bath to clean it, then dry well. Rub on some neosporin and place the snake back into the enclosure. Substrate should be newspaper or papertowels. This should be done daily until the snake sheds. Change the substrate often, too. If you have a multitude of towels, you can switch the towels out every day while the snake is getting its bath. Just be sure to wash the towels in hot water and bleach. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]

A betadine solution soak works well, too, but I am unsure of how often it should be done.

And of course, there is always injectible anti-biotics from the vet for severe cases.

Artificial turf (grass) makes a good substrate for small to medium snakes with scale rot because it allows air flow under the snake.

I agree John [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] That was the substrate I used for the big girlie boa I have.
