Hey, this is my first time using this forum but if it helps then I will always use it. Well i have a 3 year old ball python i got from a legit pet store. I had him (one time owner) since he was a baby. He is sick now, at least i think so. He hasnt eaten in 3 months.(VERY unusual) He keeps on scraping his face on his logs and rocks, he is panting, he occasionally gets in water about daily, he opens his mouth fully sometimes(never use to do that) and he hisses like he has a cold. His aquarium is 4 foot tall by 3 1/2 ft wide, he had it since i first got him. He normally would eat every other week, his temp is 70's-80's he has coconut bedding( he;s had that since i first got him).Ive tried to feed him about 7 mice in that 3 month time period of his diet. My buddy had a sick bad looking ball python that i decided to keep at my house. (on top of my snakes aquarium). His snake was bad off, it was breathing very bad, it was skinny and just looked HORRIBLE. But he died about 3-4 months ago, And i think what he had my snake now has. His snake either vomited up his internals or he threw up his food. But he died cause of that. And ever since i brought that snake to my house my snake has been acing funny. I did just check for mites but i didnt see any. I looked in his water bowl, his face, body and cage. Nothing. But can you help me please, i dont know what to do. And i really cant afford a vet. Solutions-ideas on what it could be will be greatly appreciated. Thanks-
