It might be possible for a non-herp vet to do a phone consultation with a good herp vet even. I'd ask at any exotic pet stores and zoo's to find out who they use.

Is he making pops, clicks, whistles or wheezes when he is breathing?

Does he ever expel mucus during those seizures or do you find any in the waterbowl or smeared on cage furniture?

Have you introduced any new animals into your collection or changed any husbandry?

Did his temps in the tank get too low at any point?

To be honest I think he needs to see a vet - but we might be able to help you find one.

i found a place that i can take him tomorrow. he makes a wheezing noise every now and then.

How big are the mice you are feeding?

My female has just started eating again from the winter months but if you want to offer multiples you should do it on feeding night rather than different nights of the week(which I'm assuming because that would be a lot for a snake to do in one night).

The noises, I'll leave that to someone else because I'm nowhere near experienced with that.

they arent big mice. they are really small. he would eat them as soon as i put them in the cage. it would take about 2 hours total for me to feed him. and he is pretty big. about 4 ft long and 4-5 inches around the biggest part of his belly
