Very, very sick snake. Any help appreciated.

also if u plan on breeding and bringing in more BP's or reptiles, practice good quarantining procedures please.

I know. I feel stupid now, but I realized I should've quarantined only after I had taken the comparison photo to send to her. I was in shock by her condition and needed my friend to see what a healthy ball python looked like compared to hers, because she had absolutely no idea how bad it was. She just assumed it was all normal and her snake was just taking a very long time to grow, and liquid excrement that smelled like death, because it's what she's been so used to.

I called the two exotic vets in my area as soon as they opened this morning and couldn't get an appointment until Monday, which is when my friend is returning. One said I could come in for an emergency visit, but it would cost upwards of $100. I love animals, however, it being the first of the month I have my own bills to pay and not a ton of money to spare right now. Alternatively, though, I decided to contact a veterinarian friend today to see if she'll see the snake this weekend. She recommended a soak with iodine until she can see her. She mentioned the possibility of internal parasites, which will require antibiotics, and can cause neurological problems. At this point that makes the most sense. The snake seems blind; doesn't react to sudden hand movements toward her face or light shined in her eyes, and this may be neurological problems instead.
