Question
Hi

So I changed the beeding to Aspen since I know it dnt borer her but she still getting them n I'm getting wirried because she's acting as if they hurt her

Answer
Danny, I see you are from the US, is English not your first language?  I think I worked my way through your message and decoded that your Burmese python has white blisters (buboes???) filled with pus.  Aspen bedding is usually fine, but I would switch to plain newspaper until the blisters pass.  I would guess they were formed from too much humidity.  If they don't clear after her next shed you need to see a vet.  Also, watch her for secondary infection closely.  Any signs of respiratory infection should be dealt with by a vet immediately.
