What an awesome forum ... thanks for all your help!! He/She found its way from a dry hide box to a moist hide container of sphagnum moss so hopefully moisture will be part of what it was missing. This snake's recent conditions were probably too cold as well as too dry here in MN, the previous owner was using only an undertank heat pad beneath about 3 inches of sand and a very small and shallow water dish. One concern is that if part of the prob. is respiratory then will the moisture make that worse? Sure appreciate the advice! Adam
