What is this???
 
She is very dehydrated and underweight. I bought her from Petco and I guess this is the reason why many people don't recommend chain stores. Well what can I do to make her healthy? She is too skinny and I'm worried.... Thank you
Also, I was handling her today and saw this yellow thing inside of her scale. What is this? Is it serious?

The yellow thing looks her skin but it's actually not...

The "yellow thing" is called a spur. All BPs have them, both males and females. They have two, one on each side of their vent. They are used during breeding.
As far as the snakes health you just need to provide it a model home and feed it.

Re: What is this???
Also I can actually lift some of her scale. I guess this is because she is too dehydrated.... What are some ways that I can make her hydrated?

Just leave her be and keep her humidity within range and provide plenty of fresh water.

Just give her a water dish and the appropriate amount of hides and cover that she feels safe coming out to drink from it.
