This eve I went out to feed my ratties and found shoe box that was not suppose to be there. I peeked inside and was horrified to find a boa. I have no idea where he/she came from, but it is well known in the neighborhood that I like snakes. This poor boy is in trouble. He was laying on newspaper with about 1/2 inch of water under him and it was very slimy when I cleaned it out (I put on gloves and a mask when I cleaned out his cage.) I set up an emergency spot in the rat room for him where he is warm, dry and safe. He has a HUGE sore on his nose, and bubbles coming out the other nostrul. His mouth looks like it has white/yellow gunk covering his entire jaw. (I think it is mouth rot). I sent out my roommate to get what she could and she brought back some zoomed "repti wound-healing aid" I am not sure how contagious he is that is why he is still outside as of right now, but his temps are holding steady at 92 hot side 82 cold side. He has a bowl of water and is on white paper towels. He has a partial shed and is just in horrible shape. Here are some photos. What should I do with him? If it is mouth rot is it contagious?



This is the best photo I could get of him. He didn't even struggle much when I opened his mouth. It looked like his mouth was sealed shut, so I picked out a bit of the gunk so he could at least breath (it was like cottage cheese gunk).
I cant take him to a vet until tomorrow. Please help!
