>>i have a mole kingsnake that is healthy, but he seems to be sneezing. sometimes he will just be on the crawl and then he just stops and it looks like his body puffs up then he makes a sneezing noise. why is this?

Sounds like a respiratory infection (RI).
What are his temps and humidity level?
What kind of substrate do you have him on?

If it is an RI I would suggest a vet visit, but it can usually be cleared up by removing the water bowl and raising the temps for a week or so....Dry heat.....
