As for the warm salt water thing, i hate hospitals and treated myself with that method after i got a secondary infection after a nasty cut i got from some rusty metal. used the method on my dogs and my python.
Hmm... Table salt? I'm wondering if epsom salt would help with electrolytes, but I don't know if it's toxic or harmful to snakes. x.x
