    RI In my BP

    Is there anything I can give him now till I can get to a vet. I tried to feed my snake yesterday and again for the second week he wouldnt eat then I heard the hissing. I am going to take him a to a vet once they open back up but what can I do for now?

    I'm no expert like alot of the members here but I have read enough of their posts to tell you to lower the humidity some and bump the heat up some. And make sure you get your snake to the vet asap!

    Bump up the heat AND humidity. It helps the mucus get un-congested. Also it won't hurt to let the snake soak in some warm water for 30 minutes. Once again that warm water & wet air will help the snake breath a lit better. But yes DO get he/she to a vet asap!
