...
I'll be getting some of the medicine you mentioned... Lets say I felt it best to administer some, if diluted Betadine, what would be a good dilution ratio? Would you just use a cotton swab or let it sit in a small bath (and if bath, for how long?) ...

For minor wounds, topical antiseptics that are safe for snakes include the Vetericyn ointment (version for snakes-just a little dab, please) or Betadine. If you use Betadine on a snake, dilute it with water so it looks like weak tea- & apply a little using a Q-tip- DO NOT SOAK this snake! -that would likely make it worse.

As I said before, that spot just looks a little infected to me (the red & yellowish colors)- it's healing but it will take time (sheds!) to fully disappear also. What substrate is she on?
