(Back story)I recieved a baby BP from a friend of mine about a week and a half ago. He cleans out houses that have been forclosed by banks. the snake was in a 10 gallon tank with a small heat rock, newspaper substrate, and a small bown of water. electric was still on so it didnt get cold. Anyway it was infested with mites all around its eyes and its nostrils were almoast completely filled in with past sheds. I wish i could get a piece of the SOB that had it previously.!. anyway, when i first got the snake it seemed to be breathing from its mouth every once in a whyle. i treated the mites and its eyes are looking great. i have been soaking it in a small plastic terarium for an hour and a half every other day and peeling any loose skin from around its nostrils with a pair of fine point jewlers tweezers. i have got one completely open and the other a little open. it still apears to breath through its mouth once in a great whyle. it is about to shed so im hoping the rest of the nostril will clear out with this shed. i am looking for any comments or suggestions or comments as this is my first BP. i own 4 corns but i have never had any problems like this with any of them.
