....Respiratory infections do not just happen for no reason. If you provide the correct husbandry for these snakes then health problems including respiratory infections rarely occur. You provide us with no information except that the snake makes a popping noise. With just that information we have no way of making even a guess about what is going on with the snake. A popping noise could possibly be a symptom of a respiratory infection but it could be caused by something else. How old and how large is the snake? Where did you get it and how long have you had it? Do you think it is captive born or imported? Do you house it with any other snakes? What sort of cage do you keep it in? What temperature and humidity do you provide for it? What are you feeding it? When did it last feed? When did it last shed and did it shed in one piece? Do you have a recent photo of the snake? These questions may seem strange but they all are very important clues that could help us to help you with your snake. Do not attempt to give the snake vitamins.
