Answer
Hello Charmain,

First thing remove any substrate and replace it with paper towels. Buy some Neosporin and put on wounds ever other day trying to keep them clean. I will say it may end bad, bad there is always a chance of your snake surviving the attack. The only thing you should have in the tank is paper towel, water bowl and a plastic hide box.
