Ok let's start over: Looking for good, clean, gentle advice on burn healing process

Unless the burn was so bad that sepsis was an immediate concern, I would forego the betadine soaks. Silver sulfadiazine cream is the topical of choice. You need a prescription for it.

Actually http://mountainside-medical.com/ will sell it without a prescription. A small tube isn't expensive and would be a good addition to any snake owner's first-aid kit.
