Re: I need help
Well...obviously the first point is, you shouldn't keep a snake you cannot adequately take care of. And if you can't get it treatment when its sick, I think that falls under that category. Sorry...just my opinion.
Secondly, stuff from the nose isn't good. Not at all. He needs to see a vet, the sooner the better. Respiratory infections can go from easy to fix to beyond hope in a matter 24-48 hours. Has he made the noise again? What kind of noise was it, was it whistley or more of a raspy/gargle sound?
90% humidity is too high, pinkys are way too small. How big is the snake? Even a hatchling can take more than a pinky. I hope you're at least saying pinky rats and not pinky mice.
A pic of your snake and setup would help a lot here. Your temps sound ok.

Re: I need help
Sounds like a RI. You do need to take him to the vet. Excuse me for saying so but shame on you for having a pet in a place where it's illegal. With all the legislation to ban exotics and BPs you should know better. Do right by your snake, get him to a vet and move him to a place where he's allowed to be.

Yeah you dont want NY giving you a FIND!!!
LOL
So you know its illegal. But you have it. You joined this site reading the TOS, that states talk about illegal acitivties yadda yadda yadda.
Your snake is sick, give him to someone who can care for it.

Re: I need help
Did you properly thaw out the frozen mouse?
Why are you feeding pinkies, that sounds WAY too small even as pinky rats.
If it's an RI it will die without proper medication, so you have to either take it out of NY and take it to a vet or give it up to the ASPCA.
List us your husbandry details or take a picture of your enclosure.

That sound could have been the snake trying to push mucus out of the way so it can breathe. Its only going to get worse. Get him to a vet, or get him to someone who can get him to a vet. Don't wait until tomorrow. Today.
Seriously...

No, it does not. You need direct baytril injections from a vet.
Snakes will still eat on an RI, that is a myth.
