    Unhappy Possible R.I. on new rescue.

    So i rescued the snake from my buddy who was taking horrible care of her. She has retained shed, her humid. and temps were way off and she continually opens her mouth like every few minutes and makes a kind of wheezing noise. Im going to take her to the vet, but i was wondering if you guys have any suggestions on how to treat this at least temporarily? Thank you!

    Raise temps and humidity. But yeah, a vet trip is in order.

    Soak her in some warm water for about 30 minutes. The warm water will help her get that shed off along with helping to loosen up some of the mucus in her lungs. Also up her humidity and heat temps in her enclosure. A vet trip and a round of antibotics is will be your best bet.
