    One other thing to check on (to see if she is actually injured & needs vet care) is to watch how she moves...when she is making "S" moves
    with her body, look to see if any area is dented inward
    ("concave") as she goes forward. Be very gentle about encouraging her to move,
    but if something doesn't look right she may have broken ribs...and you
    want to KNOW this because she shouldn't be handled near such
    injuries while she heals. If she has broken ribs, they'll have to heal in place, but you don't
    want them to be pushed further into her organs
    ...as I said, that can be serious & even deadly, besides being painful. Not all snakes bite when in pain...some are very stoic...it's up to you
    to be careful with a snake. Hoping she's OK, but without seeing her, no way to know what all happened.
    Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength.
