I had posted once that I was snake watching for some friends, well am I glad they are in QT.....

I caught the Dumerils open mouth breathing today and hear whistling even worse then when she first got here.

Here is where I need the advice, the people say they are "in a tight knot" and cannot pay for their vet bills. Well, we also are in a tight knot and cannot afford someone elses animals vet bills. I have opened her mouth and there is for sure mucus in there, even saw a couple pieces sticking from top to bottom. She needs the vet and this girl keeps saying shes like this a lot and she cleans it up with a q tip and its gone in a week. But, should it NOT come back EVER if they have proper humidity and heat? I know my shiz, none of my snakes has EVER needed a vet visit(except the hog I RESCUED).

So, how would you all handle this, what would you do??? There is nothing signed about this, could I take them to the vet and then sell the animals to good homes that WILL take care of them legally or what? I just don't want them to get sicker and/or die.....
