Have you guys experienced anything similar when dosing your snakes? Thanks for any information you can give me.

Yes unfortunately that problem is a known side effect of Baytril injections. If you're on Facebook join the Retic Nation group and do a search, one guy posted a picture of a big female that looked like a rat had torn her up at the injection sites.
