Re: help!!
First aid recommendations rarely go past a little neosporin. This is definitely beyond me, but if it's not too deep, I think you could handle it yourself. Put him in a "hospital" environment: plastic bin, paper towels, along with the proper heating, waterbowl, hides, etc. Just much cleaner than loose substrate or even newspaper. Sorry I don't know how to treat the injury itself. Someone more experienced should be along before too long. Good luck. Keep us updated.
Oh, picture! Worth a thousand words (if not more).

Re: help!!
Keep him clean and warm, a vet might try stitches, i dunno, I might try to bandage the skin gently so that it covers the fleshy part, putting a bandage on a snake though will be hell (maybe a large bandaid?). By the way where is the wound on the snake?
PS dont put neosporin on an open wound that large, it might make things worse...
