    Yes...also known as Betadine (brand name), it's used by doctors as a surgical scrub, & is safe to use topically (on the skin) of our snake-pals too, to prevent or fight infections from minor wounds.

    Another product (I've had no need to try yet) is actually made for reptile use...it's a water-soluble antiseptic gel...sold by some pet stores (Petco- I've heard carries it) or on Amazon if you can't find it locally.

    *while human antiseptic ointments such as Neosporin can be used in a small amount & temporarily on a snake wound, it's petroleum jelly based & can make for skin issues (bad sheds, scales de-laminating)
    so it's not the best option.
