    Take him to a vet that specializes in exotics. I can't see the video (NetNanny at work) but staring straight up for hours and wheezing sounds more like a respiratory infection than IBD.

    There is a blood test for IBD, your vet will have to overnight a sample to the lab if you want the test done.

    In the meantime keep this snake well away from any others you may have, increase his temps to 83*F low / 92*F high, up his humidity, and handle him as little as possible.

    ETA: Now that I can see the video, why in the name of all that's holy do you have the heat tape inside the enclosure?!?!?!
