Hey guys. I adopted a ball python from animal control yesterday. my snake has something wrong in his respiratory system. i can hear clicks in his body when he breathes. He also wheezes. when i first got him he was blowing mucus bubbles and he yawns often. what can i do?

GO TO THE VET ASAP!

It can be deadly.

You'll need to take him to a vet - he's going to need to be put on anitbiotics - in the mean time crank up the heat and humidity.
