That was slightly harsh, some people consider themselves very close to their animals. I firmly believe snakes have emotions and deep connections with people as well. And in fact the snake can't clean itself, feed itself, wash itself, or monitor its heat and humidity. snakes require a fair amount of attention or mothering.
also definition of a mom or mother is not always the person who gave birth. here are some from a dictionary.
mother- a woman having the responsibility and authority of a mother
A woman who holds a position of authority or responsibility similar to that of a mother.
mother - Maternal love and tenderness
A woman who adopts a chid
A woman who raises a child.
Now you could say a child is a dependent and your snake is definitely dependent on you.
so whether you want to call yourself you pets mother, mom , owner , dad, father, keeper. it shouldn't matter and other people should not care if you do.
If you feel compelled to burst someone's bubble, I really feel very sorry for you. Some people feel joy in calling themselves mothers of something or someone.
don't be the grinch of lil joys
sorry I was a lil hard, I do not call myself a mother to my pets but it really bothers me when others put down others or rain on their parade. there is no need.
I hope people read this and not take it the wrong way or become angered, I just want you to open your minds and think about it.
maybe have a beer

Also if you worried about stopping infection, my vet suggested me to use Chlorohexidine solution. Its perfectly safe for snakes and is a great way to kill germs and not worry about harming the animal. When my snake had thermals burns years back before i picked up a herpstat part of her healing process was a 10 min soak in this solution to make sure there was no change of infection.
