Please help! What do I do? Looks like a virus popping out all over my snake. Look like open sores but no mouse did it.

Vet visit would be the first and most effective step.

Get a plastic tub as a temporary cage and wash it thoroughly. Use newspaper as a substrate. Keep the cage dry. Give the snake a heat pad at about 85-90 deg.

If the condition does not improve immediately, see a vet.
