I do have an appointment with a vet tomorrow but you know me...I am worried too death. My snake is about to shed. His eyes went white on Saturday and cleared today. Since Saturday he was sat all stretched out on the forks of the branch on the cold side of the cage. He ate a very small fuzzy (next size up from pinkie mouse) on Saturday morning and let the other lay. I thought he was just hitting the fake plants in his cage that were twisted around his branch because I keep hearing this clicking noise. Well after watching him all day yesterday while I had a migraine, I have decided he is sneezing. He also does another really weird thing. He opens his mouth like EXTREMELY wide every now and then. I thought maybe it was because he was going to shed and it helped him loosen the skin but now I am not so sure. When he sneezes, nothing comes out. I did take him off the branch to see what was up and he sure drank a lot of water from his dish and sucked the water drops off the outside of his dish. I never saw a snake drink before so that was weird. Anyone have any idea how serious this is? I am going to post a few places to see how fast I can get a response. I am pretty upset. He refuses to stay off the branch and the cold side. Can this be good for him? Has staying on the cold side for days on end made him sick?



I feel so bad for this guy. Things have just not been going well for him or us lately.
