Applying betadine

[Ozzie Python]

Chris- he actually said hydrogen peroxide is the best thing to use for cleaning skin irritations/infections when the wound is not open.

oh really,...i heard so many times never to use it,...i guess being a vet he should know better though,..!

There are that many wives tales with reptile care, i'm sure every vet, breeder, scientist and expert has a different opinion.

I for one am no expert but i would be hesitant to apply hydrogen peroxide.

well they do use hydrogen peroxide to fight gangreen

 

[Ozzie Python]

So you could end up with just a skeleton if applied liberally

 

[Oskorei]

not sure about that...

but is eats away all the gangreenous tissue and is the one of the only effective ways of treeting it.

that being said tho, i woudlnt put it on my animals
