It's like gauze, only a tighter weave, like cloth) and secure it with coban. It holds nice and securely, but only sticks to its self. Just don't make it too tight.

That's exactly the kind of info I'm looking for! I'll make a point of picking up some coban, since I don't believe I have any around, though with an uncoordinated child I have every shape and size of band-aid on the market. (I know, not safe for snakes.)

Is there anything like a triple antibiotic ointment that is safe to use on snakes? And I believe that diluted betadine is safe for disinfecting, but would like to double check.
