Help!!!

Yeah, that's a lot of food...I'd cut back gradually if I were you...she might be a little cranky, lol, but healthier with a bit less food. (jumbo rats are high fat too)
Might want to look into rabbits?

So I actually could get the snake home today. I’ve had her at a friends house. She looks super healthier other then a little something going on at the top of her head looks like stuck shed. I feel really bad for her they had her in a like 30qt tub. The kind that you find at like factory’s that the kids fold in and fit together. I was wrong she isn’t quite 8 feet but she is over 7 for sure.she seems very calm. Didn’t do anything that bothered me or made me nervous when I was handling her. Thought I might have heard a little wheezing but then when I listened for it I couldn’t hear anything so not sure any advice on what I should do to combat that just in case?

For the wheezing, make sure her temps and humidity are correct and wait a bit. Could be stuck shed in her nostrils, could just be big snake huffy-puffy breathing. If you've only ever had small snakes hearing a big snake breathe heavily while exerting itself can be disconcerting.

Well, listen to her breathing when she's laying in a cage or container, not when she's being held, because many times when we hold a large snake it's in such a
way that forces air from their very long lung(s) & it can sound like a slight wheeze when it's actually normal & NOT a respiratory infection ("RI"). Obviously we
aren't hearing her...you'll just have to keep paying attention & hopefully it's nothing. Might keep her a couple degrees warmer if you do think it's an RI & should
it continue, see a vet for an antibiotic for her. She looked pretty healthy in the pics...and since she was in too small of a tub, the spot on her head is most likely
a head rub, or maybe some stuck shed where she rubbed her head in the recent past. Good luck with her, we look forward to updates.

Here is a picture of her head now that I get her into light I’m really worried what is this is that from her constantly rubbing on something?

The rest of her body is perfect it’s just like that on the top of her head

That's what it looks like to me...from rubbing & pushing on a tub that's too small, and possibly poor humidity too.
Nothing to worry about...get her into an enclosure of suitable size...with some TLC & a few sheds, she'll look better.

That almost looks like an infection or abscess that blew out the top of her nose that has scarred over. I would keep an eye on it as she may have issues shedding right there. Some Neosporin without painkiller or Vetericyn gel on the area right before she pops a shed may keep the scales soft enough so they come off easily when she sheds.

I think you're right about that...that circular area...but at least it doesn't look recent.

That’s the only area that she has stuck shed so that would make since thanks for all the help
