I don't think it would hurt but I also don't believe it would help, & sure would be messy... Don't know for sure though, never tried it.

While honey has some antiseptic properties and is a "folk remedy" to promote healing, for snakes Vetericyn gel would be a better option.

THIS ^ ^ ^ or you can use Betadine (povidone-iodine) solution, dabbed on (<made for human use)
Vetericyn is a vet product MADE for snakes (water-based...it's best NOT to use petroleum-based products such as Neosporin as it can cause issues with peeling scales)

If you're talking about the lightened scales & slight "bald" spot in the middle of the head, that appears to be from head rubbing in the cage, & since it is well-healed (no
raw wounds) there is NO point putting antiseptic on it...it won't change anything. Those scales may never look the same, or may very gradually improve in time.
