If you haven't done it already, the snake should be treated by a vet ASAP.

You need to forget about trying to treat that yourself and get to a vet. Even if you were able to get it back in, a suture needs to be put in so that it doesn't pop right back out. In the meantime keep the exposed tissue moist so that it doesn't dry out.
