I had a pair of BH pythons that had repeated blockage of the nostrils. Cultures turned up nothing. They fed normally. The female had it for over 1.5 years, didn't seem to bother her.....until she died from lung damage from a bit of stress while taking her to the vet's. The male had a slight bit of infection left, but had the problem for a lot less time. I just finished a month of Amakacin injections, and he's finally breathing normally. I replaced the female at Daytona with a beautiful animal from Tom She's doing nicely, and hopefully will produce little BHs this season.



Any time either of them had blockage, they still fed normally, since their glottis was not obstructed.
