    Exclamation Need help with a baby, think he may have been stepped on?!

    Hey Guys, this is my first time posting on here and unfortunately it is a bit of an emergency!

    I'll try to keep a long story short so we can help this guy ASAP.. My girlfriend brought home a baby ball python last weekend and we didn't have any tanks available so we set up a little cardboard box for him to live in for a few days until we found a tank. Well apparently it escaped the box and hid under neath some clothes on the floor.

    I got up to check on him and on my way over there I stepped on a shirt (yes, the shirt the snake was under ) and it all happened so fast I don't remember exactly what happened but basically I step on the shirt (bear foot) and feel wetness so I look down and see the snake slithering away (seemingly terrified but how can you really know with snakes?) so fast and I notice there's snake poop somehow sprayed on my leg and there's snake pee all around my foot?!

    So needless to say I've been worried for the past day and a half wondering if I've stepped on him or what happened? I was bear footed and it didn't feel like I stepped on anything hard, just the shirt.. but I more noticed the wetness than anything.. hes just a baby maybe hes so small I wouldn't notice if I've stepped on him? Do snakes normally spray their poop? maybe he was just scared and sprayed me with poop and peed everywhere? He kind of looks bruised near his tail today but like I said we just got him so its possible he looked like that before and I just never noticed? I don't know what to do i've looked everywhere online and I cant find any advice other than to take him to a vet but I really cant afford that right now and I don't even know for sure if there is anything wrong with him, he was a very expensive morph I guess (I don't know much about these things) and we need to do something but I'm looking for any answers I can find on here before finding a snake vet somewhere and paying for a vet appointment.

    Any help, tips, suggestions, information, solutions are greatly appreciated!
