Do not use peroxide on your snake like mentioned in one of the answers, it is very bad for your snake. Any open wound on an animal should be seen by a vet. The vet will most likely give you antibiotic shots to give it along with a special antibiotic cream made for reptiles. Using any medicine made for humans without the approval of a vet is a very bad idea and can cause more damage than good.Is it safe to apply antibiotic cream to open wounds on a red tail boa?
It all depends on where the wound is located and how deep it is. It is not a good idea to give human antibiotics to your animal without consulting a veterinarian first. Your snake may need to take an oral antibiotic which you must get from the veterinarian.Is it safe to apply antibiotic cream to open wounds on a red tail boa?
Superficial wounds can be treated with neosporin and peroxide. Serious open wounds with exposed tissue can easily become infected and need veterinary treatment as soon as possible. A bite from a rat should also be evaluated by a vet.
Yes, many zoo and vets use neosporin on repts.
