1st, don't use hydrogen peroxide, use betadine on injuries.

If you can't afford a reptile vet or proper set up, you should consider surrendering your snake to a rescue. These are not "low cost pets", these are exotic animals that have relatively strict housing requirements, and needs.

What your describing sounds like he needs veterinary care asap.

I totally agree with you and although I'll be eating beans and rice this month (American Exceptionalism! WOOOO WE DA BEST! Unless you're born on the bottom end... sigh) I arranged a ride into town and a vet appointment tomorrow. So she's got 23 hours left to wait I think he-she will make it.

I actually rescued this animal once already, so.

Low cost compared to say, a dog that has much more unpredictable/wider range of things that can go wrong, and a higher upkeep cost. In addition, cost includes time- something I have very little of- and in this way a snake is the perfect pet for me, because I have to leave town for 3-4 days it's not a problem.
