: My Taiwan was bitten on the face by a rat about two weeks ago. I thought that he had healed but when I feed him this morning I seen a small amount of blood coming from what I thought was a healed wound. I have some antibiotic cream for humans would it work on my snake, and I was conserned with the wound being so close to his mouth would the antibiotic cream hurt him if he were to swollow some.

: Thanx Dennis P.S. I no longer feed my snakes live rats or mice

Yes you can use the antibiotic cream for humans on reptiles I have for years with good results. also a 50/50 mix of hydrogen peroxide and water applied with a q-tip has worked well. Just don't let it get in the mouth.
good luck
