Is the ball hard or soft and squishy? May be a blood blister considering her other issues with the bleeding

Perhaps you can email a reputable vet that is stateside and ask their opinion.

I honestly have no clue what this could be.

Do you feed live prey?

I still have the suspicion of something to do with blister disease or something turned septic ..

Of course I could be WAY off base here. It seems as if the blood vessels are seeping under the skin for whichever reason. And that looks like a blister on the back.

What is causing all that ? That is the question :(

Dr. Del had a awesome idea, see if you could email a reptile vet in the US. Some are super nice and helpful, they cannot give you a diagnoses over the internet, but they can point you in the right direction.

The poor thing :(

Not right off the bat, I could google some later. You could also google "reptile rescues" and email them, with pictures. They usually have quite the experience with all kinds of problems and work in conjunction with vets.

What you could do for now is prepare your inquiry. Type everything out, leave nothing out. Start with background info, how long have you had the snake, how old is it, what did it eat and how often, where did you get it from. Then describe your husbandry, how you keep it, the temperatures, enclosure, etc. Then go on to explaining the problem. How it started, when, how it progressed, latest development, how long food has been refused. Make sure you mention where you are from and that no exotics vet is available and that you are searching for tips, info and any help you can get...

Once you have everything typed out, add all the pictures.

This way you have it ready to go and can just copy and paste it into emails or messages to different places and people.

I've met Jason a few times. He is a great vet and helped me with one of my breeders that retained a slug egg.

He should respond via Facebook message.
