Ruptured Abscess on Male corn snake.

Update: HE ATE!!! :) Took me rubbing the mouse across nose twice with him striking at it with a very nasty hiss... But he finally took it and swallowed it up!. :)
 
Wound still looks bad, but I'm continuing to flush it and it seems to very slowly be healing. The infected portion seems to move from the top of the ound to the back of it, but it seems Hydrogen Peroxide baths stave it off faster than just the iodine. I fed him a small mouse so that it wouldn't hurt the wound any. :)
 
I suggest that you stop using hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound with as many sources say that it actually causes tissue damage and increases the healing time. Just plain water, or a chlorhexidine solution, would be just as good for daily cleansing.
