Please help!!!

I have had my ball python for around 5 years and everything has gone smoothly until today. She seems to have two strange sponge like sores on her side maybe both 3/4 an inch long. Also her belly 1/4 of the way towards her head has turned almost a lime green while the skin her back, above the lime green portion, of her belly has a dark red tint. She is mid shedding and ate around a week ago. If any one thinks they know a solution that would be great. I have absolutely no money so a vet visit isn't likely. Perhaps we should think about universal pet health care... I will get pictures up soon but must sleep now because class is in the morning.

Pictures would be helpful

poor quality and the cut is not really that shinny and the green on the belly is much greener.

This snake needs to see a vet, enough said.

I really don't have any money and my parents won't loan me the money because they wouldn't see it as an importance. I am definitely going to call one tomorrow to try and get some free advice... maybe. It is just sad to watch something you care for suffer.

Is there a heat rock in her enclosure? It looks to be a burn

I think you need to get someone to take a look at it. i'm sure if you call and explain your situation, you may be able to get some help. And maybe its just me but it looks like those aren't its only problems, the skin looks really wrinkly and almost loose throughout the body in the first shot. dehydration as well?

dehydration looks very apparent. how the humidity in the tank? regardless this snake needs a vet asap and I'd really try and see if someone you know can loan you some cash. talk with the vet and explain your situation and he/she may be able to cut you a deal like cost for antibiotics only and no visit fee, just call.

Seein a vet is indeed a must on this case. Base on the pictures, it seems that the sores came from an underlying issue (possible dysecdysis and dehydration and maybe something else). And Im sorry to say, but the underlying issue may have developed from your husbandry practices that needs to be corrected asap. If you cant take it to a vet, have someone who's willin to or at least have someone w/ better experience and knowledge on snakes look on your lil fella. Good luck
