take her to the vet ASAP

Oh, the poor baby! Get her to a vet ASAP! Make sure they do cultures, too. That looks like it could be a bacterial virus in her blood or something with all that inflammation.I'm no expert by any means, but that scares me pretty badly to see that.

It could be an abscess. You will need to take her to a vet ASAP. She'll need vet-grade medication to get that swelling down

Hopefully you have a local herp vet. That definetely needs to be checked out by a professional.

What am I meant to be seeing?

[S.I.R.]

Agree with all the above. Get to a VET! You will need to have a throat and mouth culture taken and have her mouth carefully examined for any rot. Good luck and take her immediately!
