Hello,

The symptoms of a snake bite would not be vomiting. You would see swelling, Neurological issues, bleeding, pain in the area of a bite and other venom related problems. This sounds more like your girl may have eaten something that upset her stomach. I would withhold food for a few hours. Offer some pedilayte for fluids. Once the stomach settles, you can start her on a bland diet of skinless chicken breast 1 part boiled to 3 parts white rice. You will want to check her temperature. The normal is 100.5*F-102.5*F. You will also want to watch for diarrhea. If a temperture should arise or diarrhea starts you will want to get her into the Vet. If she did mess with the snake and have her mouth on the snake, like all reptiles she may have been expossed to Salmonella. If the vomiting stops tonight, just let her rest and see the Vet in the am for a follow up. If she seems to get worse, please do not hesitate to see the ER Vet. The information I have given is basic first aid and not meant to replace a Vet visit. Joan
