My young burm about 1 yr old is starting to worry me. He generally in not too active, but when he is somthing odd happens. He goes around the cage and seems to almost sneeze. He will rub his nose along the cage with what seems to be drool coming out of his mouth then violently hiss, leaving more drool on the wall. Anything I can personally do or is this in the vets hands?

You need to raise the temps a little. Make the temps between 90 and mid to low 80's. I would eliminate the night time drop if you are using one for a week or so. More importantly you need to raise the humidity levels up to atlest 75%. If you can get to 80-85% that is even better. If you maintain these temps and humidity level you should see some drastic results in a week. If your snake hasn't improved after a week then I would definitely seek the help of a vet and antibiotics. Good luck and let us know how things go. Todd
