Scratched up snake, I'm looking for advice.

I have a texas long nose that got loose in the apartment. After searching for well over a week, I decided to give it a rest and see if she would pop up.

Needless to say, I woke up early one morning and found her climbing on my file cabinent looking at my cat who was sniffing her cautiously.

She is alive which is a plus, but wounded which is a minus. I'm really not sure if the cat did it or not. The cat wasn't acting like she was courageous enough to mess with the little snake however how can I truly tell what happened while I was sleeping.

Her wounds aren't horrible. She has nicks and scratches on her lower half and her cloaca/poo hole is rather beat up. One wound is a bit scarey though. The skin is slightly lifted and pushed over so that you can see pink. It is a small wound but the scales and skin is moved aside and I am wondering if I should take a pair of sterile tweezers and try to move it back and then bandage it???

There is no vet in my area who has any more knowledge than I do about snakes. I could take her 2 hours south to a vet but I don't even know any vets in the Madison area well enough to take her to them. Plus I don't think it is that serious.

I have given her a sterile tank with paper towel and a new fresh water dish. I bathe her in warm water every other day and put fresh neosporin/triple antibs on her every day. They aren't big scratches but I am concerned about this one where the skin is slightly moved. I don't want an infection to grow in the bunched up skin and I want to avoid scarring.

Have you guys ever delt with this? Any sugguestions on what I could do? Or should I just keep doing what I am doing?

thanks
(I posted this in the Vet forum too, I just am looking for as much advice as I can, I hope I am not stepping on any toes by doing that)

doing everything right. My brother had a ball python get chewed up by a rat. He decided he didn't want to deal with it, so I took the snake, I did the same course of treatment (except I used hydrogen peroxide before I put on the neosporin) & he healed up fine. He had some open scabs for awhile. But when he shed, everything was fine, he still has faint scars. That was almost 8 years ago & I still have "weezer" today. Oh yeah, he also had an RI, which is why I named him "weezer". I take him in to my biology classes every year to show students how "scary" snakes are! Good luck with your guy, he should do fine.
