Thermal burn, advice please

Same here- though I seriously doubt that it was ever tested for safety & efficacy with snakes. I suspect this vet's more naturalistic approach is just being applied to snake care without proof from testing or experience (I hope I'm wrong!), & the problem is that snakes are cold-blooded & very different critters than the warm-blooded ones vets typically see.

I DO know that honey is antibacterial though- & has been used for all kinds of infections (& dressings on them).

I wasn't aware of any snakes being allergic to Betadine either, so that's interesting.

It's telling that a search of the forum's 2 million posts doesn't come up with a single instance of someone using Chamomile to treat an injury. Some members drink Chamomile. Some have named their snakes Chamomile. But no one has used it treat an injury.
