bad reaction to my snake's meds??? help!!!

Hmm i see what you're talking about with the tail. it looks really odd to me. my bp's tail isn't like that. I would get that checked out too.

I really think that this snake needs to go to a good reptile vet ASAP to prevent further damage and to find out what is wrong and fix it.

Does anybody else see the pale, wrinkly skin near the head? is that old shed that didn't come off or just distortion from the picture?

No something is up around the head. That's why I asked for a better head shot.

If you enlarge the picture you can not see any wrinkles in the paper towel. The snake is backed up big time. Go see a better vet that knows what they are doing.

the pale wrinkly skin is part of her shed. she wont let me anywhere near her head since the whole issue started. which isn't like her. she is usually very head tame

Ok, please don't get too defensive everybody here is just trying to help as this is unusual.

I think that we can all agree that the best thing for your peace of mind and the snake's well-being is that it gets to another reptile vet asap.

Even if the symptom has stopped it would be good to know the cause considering I don't think that bleeding near the head is a reaction to medicine near the tail (but I am not a vet) I just think it is strange that the the symptom would appear so far from the injection site.

And that stuck on shed needs to come off, it is understandable that the snake would not like you touching near her head especially since that is where the bleeding has occurred. That is why I think it is best to go to a vet, get everything sorted out and maybe they can help you get the stuck shed off if you cannot do it yourself.
