Nursing a sick baby back to health (video)
This is the younger of my two snakes. She's an albino Burmese python and her cagemate is a 10-year-old boa constrictor. Goldie and Pancho are their names.
Last time I went to feed them, everything went well but Goldie had some red marks on her back. Goldie usually bites herself when eating smaller prey and I thought that she had opened up an old wound so I gave her a bath afterwards.
The marks did not come off. As a matter of fact, the latter half of her body was a giant water blister. So, for the last two to three weeks I have been shuffling her to and from the doctor's every day which involves waiting...
I had tried to leave her there for observation but the doctor has nowhere to keep her, so I am stuck playing doctor for my sick snake in a do it yourself kind of way 🧐

If anyone knows what might have caused this condition, let me know in the comments.
