If it's a significant portion of her belly and/or if there is any nasty discharge associated with it, you will probably need antibiotics to fight it off and prevent a possible systemic infection.

what can i use to clean the area? i dont want to think i know what im doing and mess it up by using something that should not be used on snakes.
