Help! BP hurt :(

The only thing thats annoying me now is the fact that some people (family and friends) think I should just continue with what has been suggested and skip the vet since the vet cost will be a lot more than the snake was worth. I asked them if they got a dog/cat for free/cheap would they take the risk and not visit a vet? Some people just don't get what people see in reptiles! Regardless of the pet, you should take responsibility and give them the care they need if something is to occur.

That's up to you. We have treated wounds just as bad ourselves with no problems. It's amazing how fast and how well snakes(living creatures in general) can heal. The real factor is keeping it clean and infection free. If you can do that, then I am willing to bet it will heal just fine. Do like others have already told you and you should be fine.
You can skip feeding it for a few weeks to be on the safe side. I bet it will be healed up pretty good within a couple of weeks.
