Ok, so here's what happened. You may think of me as an idiot, but its ok. I was giving Lily a bath to help with her shedding, and when the water got colder, I took her out to warm it up again. I set her on the ground thinking the only place she could go somewhere unsafe would be under the door. My sister said she would watch her. When she was slithering along where the drawers and cabinet met, she found a hole and disappeared into it! I'm pretty sure her only way out is the way she came in but it's about as wide as she is so I don't know if she can turn around. I tried....uh....well pulling her out but I just ended up hurting her (I really hope she's ok and I know that was dumb you don't have to say it) What do I do?

Open the cabinet and make sure there is no opening along the back where any pipes may be. Sometimes cabinets have a small access in the back inside. If the cabinet doesn't have a sink or any other plumbing/electrical, then you can usually take a screwdriver and remove the screws that hold it to the wall, tip it out carefully and recover your baby.
If you don't have access to the screws then you are probably going to have to remove the kick plate along the front under the doors. Cabinets don't sit directly on the floor, so even though it doesn't look like much room behind it, your snake is probably comfy as all get out underneath it. So be careful when moving it that it doesn't get squished.

Im not sure i understand the situation. But if you must you could cut a bigger hole in your cabinet to get it out. Its no hurry since they can go months without food. So you may just wanna wait it out a while. Or try to lure it out with a dead mouse. Good luck.

make the hole bigger is a great idea as was removing kickplate from cabinet, but whatever you do you need to do it quick it is winter so im sure its colder than 75 which is the low side of where they should be kept at and more than likely its cold enough to kill your sweet little pet.

dude! take her to the vet this moment because there are a lot of chances that some of her ribbs are broken. Chill, shes going to be ok.

Leave food out for her and wait her out.

She'll come out when she's hungry.
