    Well, I think if the only damage is there around the nose-mouth area it may not be life threatening as long as you get her to the vet first thing as soon as possible. Like others said, she isn't bleeding, she may be breathing uncomfortably because her nose may be damaged, but the vet may have other options for you to save her....I'd hate for you to put her down and find out she could have been saved, or the damage wasn't as bad as you thought Whatever you decide pleeeease keep us updated, I feel so bad for her, don't beat yourself up about it either....accidents happen unfortunately

    Aww!

    I would start by taking a few deep breaths and clear your head a bit. She's obviously not in so much pain she wont let you touch her.

    How close of a fit is the bathroom door? If it was only a little scrunch, it may not be a euth-worthy injury. Cause alot of scrapes and outside icky, but may not have done much internally.

    Wait till morning, leave her be. The less stress the better. Get to the vets and see what they say.

    Thank you everyone.

    I will keep you guys posted. She's my first ball python, and I was hoping to pick up another one in two weeks at Repticon, but now I'm just upset and worried.

    Hopfully the vet will give me some pain meds for her and just tell me to keep an eye on her and that she will be okay..

    The door closed SHUT completely on her. There was a tiny gap, and I think that's where her eyes were so that they didnt get smashed..

    Well, all you can do is wait. Don't mess with her, let her do her own thing. Get her to the vet as early as possible and as stress-less as possible (kinda hard, but try)

    And breathe! Accidents happen. *hug*
