    More refined to your area, try giving a few of them a call and see if they do reptiles.

    If they are an "Animal Hospital", they should be open 24hrs. It's 11:30, so most vets won't be open. If the white light lamp wasn't just for the photo, I'd take it down. It can overheat the BP and cause even more problems. Until your snake gets better, I'd also recommend not trying to feed, as it can make it harder to get them started in the long run. Also, the snake shouldn't be having a first shed problem, as it should have shed before a couple of weeks after hatching.

    Good luck finding a close by vet, I hope you are able to get her the treatment she needs.

    In the meantime if you haven't already I recommend checking out the BP.net caresheet here:
    Ball Pythons.net Caresheet
    so you can learn about which parts of your husbandry can be improved.

    And as others have said get her on paper towels or newspaper asap. If that was pine she was on before (can't tell in the pic if thats pine or aspen) you may as well throw it out as pine is toxic to reptiles.

    Good-ish news, I found out that the fluid sacks are due to the infection in her cut, she is definitely shedding, so she isn't dehydrated. I've switched her to newspaper bedding, she wasn't on pine bedding, it was aspen, but the bedding is where it all started. I'm taking her to the vet either tomorrow or Saturday, depending on my grandmother's health. So the only worry now is infection.

    How did you find out without taking her to the vet? And she can still be shedding and also be dehydrated. Honestly the picture was too blurry to tell, but it didn't look anything like a normal shed to me. Glad to hear she's going to the vet soon, though.
