Hi, I have been lurking on this forum for a pretty long time and I regret making myself known only because of an emergency. I will intro myself soon, once this problem is resolved, promise.

I'm a bit worried about my new guy. I got him at NARBC in Anaheim on 9/4/2011. The seller said to me "Oh sorry, he's a ltitle cold" but I didn't think anything of it because the expo was pretty cold and every animal I've bought before from an expo was fine. The first time I fed him was last week because I wanted to give him time to acclimate to his surroundings. He was fed live, in his cage and he took the small rat fine (per the seller, this was how he was fed).

Today, I attempted to feed him again but he didn't want to eat and when I went to take a look at him, I saw something that concerned me. He seems to be experiencing bubbles and has developed some spots on his face? I have never seen this before and my other two ball pythons are healthy. They all took their food fine, no strange spots, and no bubbling or anything.

Is it a respiratory infection? Is it because the show was super cold? He is kept in a tub and I've bumped the temperature up to 92.3 with 0.5 night drop, which is a little higher than what I keep my other guys at since I am pretty worried. I wanted to take him to the vet tomorrow.

However, the seller has emailed me back this--

"hey kat just got your email the spots arnt anything to worry about looks like its just a little poop or something but the bubbles are, looks like respiratory he looks like he's in blue just keep the heat up and keep the humidity down see if it gos away after he sheds if it gets worst i'll take him back and work on him and will work something out i still got a bunch of balls and i have a clutch of albinos due to hatch in a month keep me posted thanks"

I guess I just need some advice on what to do. Please see these pictures.

Please tell me also if I am just overreacting or if there's anything I can do for the moment and what I should do tomorrow (vet?). I am so worried Thanks in advance.
