Advice for wet pet preservation (Newbie)

I had a pet snake die recently, unfortunately by the time I noticed it was bloated (I didn’t have a/c till today as the weather has been cool until today) and then when I tried picking it up… the liquid and the bloating came out. I double Ziploc bagged it tried to squeeze out most of the air out of the bag without squeezing her put it in the freezer. It’s about 8 PM where I’m at so a lot of taxidermy places are closed, but I’m not sure if they do wet specimens looks like they mostly just do like dry(?) taxidermy. Should I try and save it through mummification or would wet specimen be an option still? I’ve never owned a wet specimen, nor do I have any knowledge on it. All advice are welcome.
