HELP NEEDED - One of my Ball Pythons got Stuck in a Laundry Basket

[pythonic]

Yesterday, I adopted two ball pythons. I am new to owning them; however, I have taken care of one before. One of my female ball pythons found her way into a laundry basket. She was stuck and could not make it through. I tried to use my hand to guide her out without any luck, and then I tried pulling her backwards through one of the holes. She was truly stuck. It took her a while but she pulled herself forward as hard as she could. She made it out, but some parts of her skin has peeled off. She was blue yesterday, and so I know she is about to shed. However, it wasn't time. Is she in any pain from being stuck or from the skin peeling? Please Help.

Can you post pictures?? It would be better if we could see how much damage she actually took, I had a similar event happen and can help on this.

Fist off why did you put her in there? And if you didn't why are you letting your snakes free roam without watching them?

Dude that's beside the point. I'm sure they have kicked them selves over this enough. At least they are asking for help.

[pythonic]

I don't know how well you can see. I hope it's good enough. She is really scared of me right now.



She has several parts kinda tearing. What do you think? How can I make her feel better? She's on the cold side of her cage right now.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I see no pink? So it's just shed that has come off?

[pythonic]

There is one spot which does seem to be pink; however, the majority came off ok.

[Tannerrrtx]

So there's no open wounds?

[pythonic]

No it is not bleeding; however, if my skin peeled up like that (its kinda pink), it would hurt. It's irritated. I don't know how their skin compares.
