Please also use the search feature under Ball Pythons Husbandry (search for "live feeding" topics). If you are going to choose to feed live you need to do so responsibly so your snake benefits from it with as little risk as possible. Leaving any live prey in for a week is very risky.

Sneezing...snakes can't sneeze....they can bubble, wheeze, click, etc....all of this indicates an medical condition in the snake you cannot treat at home. See a vet ASAP.

Sneezing....rats or mice....healthy rats and mice do NOT sneeze continuously. Sneezing of that degree indicates a reaction to their bedding or other illness that needs to be addressed immediately. To keep any animal, even a feeder rat or mouse in improper conditions that result in it being continuously ill or in discomfort is inhumane. If your rats are continuously sneezing SnakeySnakeSnake you need to address it as much as you would any other animal in your care in my opinion.
