I'm sorry it took so long, i wanted my husbands help with it all and yesterday was my bday. so anyways that is the picture. should i take her to the vet?! we are in kentucky, Louisville. She is really friendly and loves to be held even right now, seems healthy so its weird. Now that I see it in a picture it doesn't look like rat feet now or poop so any suggestions??? Thanks for all the help!

I have no idea what that actually is, but I have a hunch. Regardless, I'd schedule a vet visit as soon as you can.
Is that carpeting the substrate the snake has always been on? It kind of looks like maybe there was a prolapse and dragging that around got some carpet fibers ground in there.
Or maybe it's a partially impacted poop? It's hard to tell without snake in hand whether that's poop/fur or necrotic tissue with carpet fibers stuck. It definitely looks irritated though, and it's doubtful that's going to get better without some medical intervention.
