Is my Ball Python Ok??!?!??? HELP

He is making these weird wheezing noises not often but he is doing it... Also I saw some bubbles coming out of his mouth? please help me I don't know what I should do since I just bought him. :( is it R.I. I need as much help as i can get please.

Probably an RI . what are the temps? There needs to be a basking temp of 90 F and if he'd bubbling, you can bump that up by 3-5 degrees to get him warmer. Higher heat can help them fight an infection. Get him to a GOOD reptile vet as soon as you can! There is only so much anyone else, even a vet can do over the internet!

Should i feed him?

Yup he has a r.I I agree with darkblood make the temp more higher

HOw much does it cost for the medicine? I do not have that much money :(

Quarantine him, don't feed tonight or until a vet says its ok, bump temps up, call vet ASAP.
Then call who ever you got him from.

He ate today :(

You said you just got him...
From a business, pro- breeder,
Depending on how long it has been since you got him they might cover some of the expenses.

Not a basking temp.. Belly heat of 90 degrees. They need belly heat to properly digest food. An under tank heater, controlled by a thermostat or it will cause burns, thermometer, hygrometer, proper tight fitting hides, etc..

Read the care sheet on this site and get it's enclosure set up properly. If it's eating, keep an eye on it. If it's still making noises in a few days, a visit to the vet for treatment is in order for a respiratory infection. They have strict temperature and humidity requirements which they never get at pet stores and often end up sick.
