Just guessing someone will have more to say. Don't seem like the snake would need put down, or why he would think that, seems like it would clear up just keep it clean and try to prevent infection.
Ya that was another thought of mine that it may be a rodent chewing on the snake because he does use live feeders but I think he only feeds smaller rats to this snake believe smaller than weenling size so really don't know if a smaller than weenling could do that much damage guess it depends on how long it was in with the snake, Idk though hard to say due to not getting info directly from him.
