* [[Lizard and Snake Anaesthesia|Anaesthesia]] and [[Lizard and Snake Surgery|surgery]] might be necessary in more severe cases.
* An antibiotic treatment (topical and systemic antibiotics) is usually required for contaminated wounds.
* All but minor open wounds should be bandaged (Antiseptic liquid bandage - New Skin, Prestige Brands Holdings, Inc., Irvington, NY) can be used for superficial wounds).
* Healing can take anywhere from a few months to a year; wound bandaging/ cleaning should be done daily or every other day.
