When my ball was sick he was gaping,and his nose was watery aslo.I took him to the vet and they gave him two antibiotic shots and a rehydration shot.sounds like it is sick if the nose is watery.

her noise is not watery just her mouth and she mouth is always open.

try rising the temperature a bit maybe the simptoms would go down or maybe he is to sick for his simptoms to go down and get better.

You should also seperate the snakes to prevent the healthy one from getting sick.
