Sorry, I'm full of questions, but this is the first time I've ever had a real issue with my snakes, aside from the first one that led me to this forum to begin with!
Yes. Note, I'm no expert on snake vet care, but I have talked to a qualified veterinary professional recently (Yesterday) about multiple aspects of snake care, and when snakes bleed it's good to sanitize the wound, apply antibiotic, and keep the snake very warm as well as moist.
