snake help
i began working at a nature center in june 2026 and we have a snake who has been egg bound since march 2026. she is a california kingsnake and is around 25 years old. she was given to us around six years ago and this is her second time having eggs that we know of. her cloaca seems to be infected and she is more sluggish than she has been in previous years. i am not allowed to take her to the vet because it would be considered stealing property. i am unsure what to do, she desperately needs medical attention. any numbers or organizations would be greatly appreciated to help in this situation. the manager will not allow anyone besides me and her to take care of the snake. she refuses to take her to the vet because of payment and pre approved spending from our city. i have been soaking her semi consistently since it is the only time she will pass anything. she was last fed on 8/7, and the issue has only seemed to worsen.
