Here is a list of things that need to be done:
1. Make sure that the wound is clean, and the snake isn't loosing too much blood.
2. Remove the snake from its cage and strip down the cage to the bare minimum (paper towel substrate, 2 hides and a water dish)
3. Keep the cage hospital clean. The biggest risk at this point is infection.
4. Make sure that the cage temperatures/humidity are perfect.
5. Apply a safe disinfectant to the wound (like diluted chlorhexidine or diluted betadine)
6. return the snake to it's cage, and keep a close eye on the snake until the wound completely heals. If you see any signs of infection you really need to get your snake to a vet.
