fluid buildup under skin

Shes almost a year old and usually eats fine. I havent fed her due to all this showing up but if I need to ill attempt to but I was worried feeding would make it worse.

What and how often are you feeding her? She looks really, really small and skinny for being a year old.

Aside from the blister. Has she been off feed for a while? She looks very thin and her backbone is quite prominent. At nearly a year old she shouldn't be thumb sized.

Ive been feeding her fuzzies and I try to get her to eat once a week but sometimes she refuses. Here recently ever since she escaped. But I also do not know exact age all I know is that I recieved her last summer so I suppose shes a little under a year.

Shes also lost a lot of weight, she used to be healthy looking whenever I found her after she escaped which was probably three weeks now is when she started to lose weight.

Brother, what time is the herp vet appointment? What day is the herp vet appointment? These are two most crucial questions that need immediate answers if this little guy is going to have any chance at survival! :salute:

I honestly dont know. I live at least 2 hrs from a vet that does reptiles and I also need to find a mode of transportation. I will try in the next few days if I can. Im really just scared at this point.

If this snake is going to have ANY chance of surviving I suggest you find a way to get it to a vet NOW; it may not have days to wait. Part of being a responsible owner is knowing where to go for regular vet visits as well as emergencies.

The snake is underweight/undersized and has a severe issue with fluid filled blisters; time is critical to increase its chances of survival.

Where are you located? Maybe someone on here lives nearby.

Vet visit ASAP. You need to have somewhere you can get to in case of emergencies. Like has already been stated, this snake may not have days to wait while you try to figure out how to get to a vet.

Well good news I was able to find a car to take up to the city tomorrow morning. Going to have to leave at 5 in the morning I plan on getting there when they open. I hope they can do something for her. I appreciate all the help.
