You might want to continue the Betadine (or similar) treatment for about a week if the cut is fairly bad, but continue the Neosporin until there isn't any scab left. A very clean enclosure is important, as mentioned. The scales will show evidence of scarring for at least leveral shed cycles, and possibly throughout its lifetime. Best wishes with your new snake,

In my area, betadine would be expensive in pet stores, but quite cheap at drug stores.
