Thank you everyone!
My effort to find a treatment for the snakes sores led me to our local small animal hospital. I had with me the pictures that I had taken to post on this site. The vet looked at them and sold me a cream for fungus problems. His advise was virtually identical to what I got from you good folks. 'Baby' is in a large plastic enclosure in our camper. My husband is less that thrilled, but he'll get over it. Per the vet, I washed the sores with baby shampoo and applied the cream. I am to do so at least once a day. I also put a goldifsh in it's water dish. 20 minutes later the fish has disappeared, and the snake has a suspicious lump in it's belly. I understand from the forum that goldfish are to be used very sparingly, if at all. Will try to get her to eat a nightcrawler or possibly some trout next time. Is it safe to assume that I can wait a few days to offer food again? Don't know if she'll make it or not, but I know I've tried.
Thanks again.
