I've treated a wound like this with my male ball python that actually got stuck in his own hide. While he was thrashing around the hide removed the scales and the wound looked a lot like the snake your trying to treat. Just keep the area clean with antibiotic ointment and some betadine iodine solution. Try to keep the wound dry, once it dries it will scab up quicker and the new scales will start to form. I definitely think this snake will pull through as long as you keep it clean. I'm no expert but this is just what I've learn from personal experience. My snake still has his scar but it disappears more and more with every shed. Please keep us updated.
