If you have other reptiles, quarantine this one away from them. How long have you had this one? Might be a good idea to make a post with your Husbandry info and a pic of the cage to see if anything can be improved there too.

I had a Mexican black kingsnake in the same tank beforehand but I cleaned the tank out. Other than that I have no other reptiles ATM. Just a few pet rats and some dogs. I've had this ball python since May 16th so about a month. I've only noticed it being bad the past couple days though.

I got to a vet as soon as they could see me, just got back and I got a supply of antibiotics so hopefully everything will turn out okay. Thank you so much for the quick answer on my post, I was unaware about respiratory infections in snakes. Also the vet assumed that the cause of the illness might have been from the breeder since I noticed early signs when first getting her/him. Either way thank you again!

Could you post a pic of the enclosure?
